The oldest continuously used stadium in the FBS, Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field has been home to Georgia Tech football since 1913—and was even in use for games as early as 1905. Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, this venue has seen some of college football’s most storied moments, including games coached by the legendary John Heisman, whose name is now synonymous with the sport’s highest individual honor. What makes Grant Field unique is how it seamlessly blends old and new—the stadium has been expanded and modernized over the decades, yet the history of its early days still lingers in the air. From Georgia Tech’s 222-0 victory over Cumberland (still the most lopsided game in college football history) to more recent triumphs, Grant Field remains a timeless part of the sport’s DNA.
