Where to Stop for Food: Since Bobby Dodd Stadium is located in the middle of Atlanta, parking is a premium, which in turn cuts back on some of the tailgating. If you are one of the unlucky few to not find a spot to tailgate, many fans swing through “The Varsity” for their pregame meal. The Varsity is located a few blocks from the stadium and is an Atlanta landmark that was founded in 1928. Today it is one of the world’s largest drive-ins and serves nearly 30,000 Tech fans on game days.

Where to Watch the Game if You Don't Have a Ticket: STATS, Taco Mac, Hudson Grille

Where to Party After A Win: Rocky Mountain Pizza, Atlantic Station, Buckhead
