Those long range predictions are barely better than random picking, if that.  The predictions for the next 3 days are usually decent, and after that they get increasingly wrong.

Southeast Minnesota is encased in snow. I-35 and I-90 in our district didn't reopen until late last night. Some wicked drifting really socked in the area, and some roads still aren't dug out.

We have 43 inches of snow this year (normal is about 31). There is much more to come.

We have seen nary a snowflake.  A bit was predicted but it went way north of us.

Per a university release and press conference today, Georgia Tech has entered into a partnership with AMB Sports & Entertainment and Peach Bowl, Inc. that affords the Yellow Jackets an annual home game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

GaTech is going to play a game each year in the dome instead of their home field.  Derp.

Usually the best thing for a team with a sagging fan base to do is play in a larger, off campus venue.

They appear to be selecting games with opponents like Clemson and Notre Dame, and perhaps UGA, where opposing fans will fill the place up and the seating capacity is higher than it is at Bobby Dodd-Grant Field.

It probably makes sense financially, which of course is not to say it makes sense for the fan.  Tech is in trouble I think.  I don't know where they go.

it's worth a try if the program is hurting

It might bite them in the ass, yes. But it might also bring in some high-profile opponents that wouldn't otherwise be playing GT. Maybe that will offset the off-campus games?

To me, it's an indication that the program is struggling, which is obvious.  You don't have to do this unless that is the case.  

I imagine other programs have tried something like this in the past, but I can't of any.
