The Saturday of Family Weekend usually is centered on Yellow Jacket football. We acknowledge that the football experience this year will be a bit different than in the past, and we will help you craft Saturday plans that best suit your family. The Yellow Jackets will face off against Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, not at our home field at Bobby Dodd, so Georgia Tech Athletics has a few options on offer.  

🏈 FOOTBALL AT MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM

• Game tickets are now only for sale from Mercedes-Benz Stadium via Ticketmaster. Tailgate tickets are sold out.
  
  • Purchase football tickets.

• Students who have purchased a Yellow Jacket season ticket may use it to attend this game at no extra charge and they will be seated in the student section. Families wishing to sit together in the Family Weekend section (2,000 seats in the 300 level, across 4 sections) should purchase a ticket for their student.

• Update! Kickoff will be at 3:30 p.m. All of game day will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
  • 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. Helluva Block Party (open to the public) Visit the MBS website to learn more.
    
  • 12:30 - 3:30 p.m Tailgate (sold out)
  • 2 p.m. gates open
    
  • 3:30 p.m. Kickoff, when toe meets leather!

• Parking is not included with Tailgate or game tickets. Because of the high traffic volume on game day, Georgia Tech cannot provide a shuttle service to MBS. Suggested options are:
  • Paid parking on campus. The lots listed here are on the west campus and would incur a maximum $15 fee. Pull a ticket upon entering the lot and pay when you exit (card only, no cash.) You can take a rideshare the rest of the way to MBS or walk the 1.5 miles.

    • W22- Area 12 Danley Parking Deck (GameDay Parking / Visitor Parking) 926 Dalney St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

😎ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES

If you prefer to stay on campus, you can start the day with Yoga in the Yard (an outdoor class on beautiful Tech Green) that will feature music and meditation. Then you can head to Tech Rec in the John Lewis Student Center from 3:30 - 7:30 p.m. for bowling and billiards while you watch the game on the big screen.
