Tech accomplished a new first on Nov 25, playing it’s first basketball game during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the women’s team taking on the Georgia State Panthers from down Marietta Street. While many parts of the experience were (hopefully) temporarily different, it was still refreshing to be able to take in some live sports in person.
Differences started appearing from the moment people walked up to McCamish Pavilion. The old student entrance is now the media/staff entrance, so students enter through the main entrance at the corner of Fowler and 10th. Masks were required, the giveaway table had a plastic barrier with an opening at the bottom for the giveaway (a tumbler for this game) to be distributed to each student.
