Average college stadium but prettier, the iconic hedges add a element of beauty to the states biggest college stadium.
Easy to take a look "between the hedges". Impressive stadium. A must see if you're a college football fan!
Enter from the north face (you know, from the Downtown fun side) and come on down College Street. This place rocks. They pat down; but, nothing like others. This place is very, very nice. Ticket shakedown every 25 yards - security on duty even after admittance - just to make sure one is on the right track. One concern: gotta keep the Dawgs from bitting. Good luck with that...
We drove by to say we had seen it. Very impressive stadium. Go Dawgs! On a game day think the streets around it would be difficult to navigate.
I may be a little bit biased, being a UGA grad, but Sanford Stadium is the best venue to watch college football. I have been in other college stadiums, and Sanford Stadium is unsurpassed. The fans are usually electric, especially for a big game, and can give opposing quarterbacks fits calling audible plays on the field. If you sit near the student section, expect to stand the whole game. The jumbotron is state-of-the art and with the accompanied sound system, provides entertainment before the game and during breaks in the action on the field.
92,746 Total seats. 92,745 wearing red and black and barking like a dog. what more needs to be said. GO DAWGS!!!!
I work by the stadium and see it every day. If you are visiting athens and not going to a football game, then don't waste your time seeing the stadium: there's not much to see. Lots of empty seats and a field of grass and some hedges around the field that cover up the fact that there are fences there. Spend you time on North campus, or the far South campus by the Art Museum. The stadium used to be cool back in the day when it wasn't so big. Now it's like something out of North Korea fell in the middle of the campus.
Sanford Stadium is remarkable settled in the bottom of mid-campus. It's changed over the years but unlike most famous stadiums, it just gets better.
The best place for college game days! Beautiful! Such a part of college life and beyond (I am 20 years beyond).
The atmosphere in Sanford Stadium is always motivating and upbeat, even when the game is not a major rivalry. When the big games are played here, it is unbelieveably incredible! People are friendly and fun, the concessions are good and the sporting events are always top notch. The surrounding tailgating parties are always extravagant.
