Way down in Athletics’ release announcing their partnership with AMB, et al. is a six item list explaining the reasons for moving more than a few home games to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For those of you who prefer the Cliff’s Notes version, those reasons are, in order: branding, a modern gameday experience, recruiting, exposure, the partnership with AMB, and “revenue”. While much of the first five feel like maybe a bit too much positive spin (we’ll come back to that later), item number six comes through mostly unvarnished, and is the real reason we’re all here today. Money makes the world go round in the society we currently we live in, and Georgia Tech Athletics.
