Tennessee football fans have taken over Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium

In a Week 2 matchup, Tennessee football fans made a significant impact at Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd Stadium on September 12th. The Vols' loyal supporters filled the stadium, donning their team's signature orange and white attire. The presence of these fans was evident as they occupied most of the east side of the stadium, creating a sea of orange and white that contrasted with Georgia Tech's light gold and white shirts.

ESPN play-by-play announcer Bob Wischusen noted that the Vols' fanbase was so large, it felt like half of Neyland Stadium in Knoxville had traveled to Atlanta for the game.

The Georgia Tech band played the national anthem, and the procession of the Vols onto the field was met with an enthusiastic response from the fanbase. During the game, UT fans chanted and cheered, supporting tight end Ethan Davis, who scored a crucial touchdown in the first quarter. This touchdown, scored with just 12:22 remaining in the quarter, was a highlight for the Vols and their supporters, clearly indicating the fans' role in the high ticket sales for the game.

Tennessee's proximity to Atlanta, with Knoxville being only a three-hour drive away, has led to a significant number of alumni making the trip to support the team. The university estimates that nearly 12,000 alumni live in the Atlanta metropolitan area, contributing to the strong fan presence. The Vols have demonstrated their dedication by selling out 28 consecutive games at Neyland Stadium, which has nearly double the capacity of Bobby Dodd Stadium.
