Georgia Tech announced plans tonight to rename the McThriller Dome to the Dennis Felton Memorial Coliseum at Historic Gaines-Bliss Court.The move comes in the glorious aftermath of the University of Georgia's SEC Tournament Championship won on Sunday at Tech's former home gym.
"It's time that we recognize who really owns our facilities," said Dan Radacovich, athletic director for Georgia Tech. "We're hopeful that we can reach a favorable lease agreement with Georgia on DFMC at HGBC."
The Georgia Bulldogs won three of their four games at Tech's facility over the weekend. As a point of comparison, Georgia Tech didn't enjoy a three game winning streak at home this entire season.

Officials at McDonald's, Inc. were heart broken with the news.
"We felt that McDonald's and Georgia Tech were nearing completion of a new marketing, cross promotion arrangement whereby our logo would return to GT's court and Buzz would be replaced by our famous Ronald McDonald clown," said Sandy Kroc, the hamburger heiress and chief marketing officer of McDonald's.
"It's an unfortunate turn of events for us as everyone knows UGA would never whore out their iconic imagery to make a quick buck like Tech would," said Kroc.
