For the first time since 1913, ^[9] this season's Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry game will not be played at either Georgia or Georgia Tech; it will instead take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which paid Georgia Tech $10 million to host the game. ^[9] Batt said the money would be "a transformative lift for Tech athletics", ^[9] and promised that Tech would host the 2027 Georgia game on-campus.

The game will also be the first of a new annual college football series held at the Benz, called the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic. ^[10]
