ATLANTA — Georgia Tech’s new athletic director wants to hear from the fans on whether next year’s game against Tennessee should be held at Bobby Dodd Stadium or Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“Engaging and receiving your feedback is important to me,” Georgia Tech Athletic Director Ryan Alpert wrote in an open letter to fans.

The decision comes as the department weighs the importance of tradition and fan experience at Bobby Dodd Stadium against the potential revenue benefits of hosting the game at the larger Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Georgia Tech has proposed two options for the 2026 season ticket pricing model.
The first option is a seven-game package at Bobby Dodd Stadium, including the Tennessee game, with a slight increase in ticket prices.
The second option involves six games at Bobby Dodd Stadium, with the Tennessee game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Season-ticket holders would get early access to purchase tickets for the Tennessee game.

Georgia Tech and Tennessee have played 44 times in their program histories, but only once since 1987. The teams will have a home-and-home series in 2026 and 2027.
