Georgia Tech’s ‘Full Steam Ahead’ Initiative Celebrates Baseball ACC Title and Announces $500 Million Athletic Upgrade

Coach James Ramsey, Drew Burress and Vahn Lackey outline plans for stadium and facility renovations following the team's championship victory.

On May 18, 2026, Head Coach James Ramsey, Drew Burress and Vahn Lackey convened a press conference to mark the culmination of a historic season in which the Georgia Tech baseball squad captured the ACC title. The event, held on campus, brought together media, alumni and university leaders to celebrate the team's achievement and to announce the next phase of athletic development.

A Vision for the Future

The celebration was not merely a toast to a trophy; it served as a platform to unveil a sweeping vision for the future of Georgia Tech athletics. Central to that vision is the "Full Steam Ahead" campaign, a $500 million fundraising initiative designed to modernize key facilities and expand operational capacity across the sports programs.

The initiative earmarks resources for renovations of Bobby Dodd Stadium, the Zelnak Basketball Center and the O’Keefe Gymnasium, with renderings and detailed project plans available at atfund.org/FullSteamAhead. University officials emphasized that the upgrades will enhance fan experiences, provide state‑of‑the‑art training environments and generate broader economic benefits for the campus community.
