The 2025 Georgia-Georgia Tech football game will take place at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Yellow Jackets athletics director J Batt announced Tuesday.

The non-conference rivalry game, originally scheduled for Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium next year, has been played on-campus for the last 110 years. In a rivalry known as “Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate,” Georgia leads the all-time series 71-41-5.

“We know that some of you may be apprehensive that Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate will be played off-campus for the first time since Bobby Dodd Stadium opened in 1913,” Batt wrote in a letter to fans published on the school’s website. “Please know that we understand that concern and know that this was not a decision that was made lightly.”

Georgia Tech will receive $10 million from Atlanta-based AMB Sports and Entertainment for moving the game to Mercedes Benz Stadium, Batt wrote. Though the Georgia game will not be part of Georgia Tech’s 2025 season-ticket package, Yellow Jackets fans will receive various “seating priority opportunities,” he wrote.

Mercedes Benz Stadium, home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and the annual SEC championship game, opened in 2017 with a capacity of 71,000. Bobby Dodd Stadium (formerly Grant Field) seats 51,913.

Georgia already plays its annual game with SEC rival Florida at a neutral site — EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. There are few other neutral-site rivalry games in major college football, with Texas-Oklahoma (played annually in Dallas) and Army-Navy (typically played in Philadelphia, but occasionally at other sites) among them.

The 2024 Georgia-Georgia Tech game takes place in Athens on Nov. 29, a Friday
