Spring is officially baseball season here in
Atlanta. From
backyard games of catch to sunny weekends at Turner Field, the city's
favorite
pastime is in full swing. What to do, however, when you really want to
catch a
game but just can't muster up the civility to fight traffic on a Friday?
Take
in a Georgia
Tech game, of course!
The Yellow Jackets, currently ranked
third in the nation, have
had a stellar
start to the season. After their
weekend sweep, Tech sits at 32 and 5, outscoring opponents 381-144 over
the
last 37 games. Spectacular teamwork aside, another great perk is the $5
ticket
price. Concession prices hover between $3 and $5, making it a fun and
affordable option for families. While plenty of street and garage
parking is
available, Russ Chandler Stadium is just a short trolley ride from the Midtown
MARTA station. What's more, the Stinger Shuttles, found all across
the GT campus, offer free and air-conditioned rides.
With a jam-packed
schedule, games are played
throughout the week. For those of you stuck in the office, GT has you
covered.
Every home games can be live-streamed
through iTunes or followed
online with
GameTracker. Liven up that traffic jam by
tuning into 91.1FM for play-by-play coverage.
A few additional notes: Heads up for foul balls! Although they
sometimes come careening into the crowd, catch one and get a free
concession
item. Be sure to check out the
promos page for more cool giveaways and
specials.
