Bobby Dodd Stadium

Bobby Dodd Stadium of Atlanta, Georgia is part of Georgia Tech. The surface of the football stadium is grass though from 1971 to 1994 it was Astroturf. The construction of the stadium was $15,000 in 1913; however, it was expanded with $75 million. It has a capacity of 55,000.

The stadium is located at North Avenue at Techwood Drive. This is also part of the campus for Georgia Institute of Technology. It has been the home of the Yellow Jackets from 1913 to present. The Atlanta Beat used the stadium for one year in 2001. The Atlanta Apollos used the stadium for one year in 1973. For two years it was home to the Peach Bowl.

Grant Field which the stadium was built on in 1913 is still the oldest continuous field used for campus college football in the southern USA. It is also the oldest in FBS. Football was played on the field from 1905. The grandstands were built in 1913 when the sport became popular enough to warrant a place to sit for the attendees. Since that time it has become a historic location for college football. Each year teams from the south come to try and win against the Yellow Jackets.
