Burger Bowl is an athletic field on the West Campus of theGeorgia Institute of Technology, at the intersection of Hemphill Avenue and Ferst Drive. It is located behind the Fitten, Freeman, and Montag dorms. The bowl itself is split in two by a sidewalk creating the larger Burger Bowl, adjacent to the E. Roe Stamps Field, and the smaller Taco Bowl, adjacent to Hemphill Avenue.
The bowl-shaped field picked up the "Burger" name during the 1970s, whenBurger King opened a restaurant across Hemphill Avenue from the field.[1] The Burger King, which closed in the mid-1980s, was next to the site of former Georgia GovernorLester Maddox'sPickrick Cafeteria.[2]
The field is used as a recreational field for a variety of intramural athletics and is home to the Georgia Tech Rugby Football Club (arugby union team).[1] The Bowl also serves as a meeting place for clubs and events, including most Georgia Tech Homecoming and Greek Week events.
Georgia Tech built the Leadership Challenge Course in the northeast corner.[3]
