Basic Facts Location: Athens, Georgia (University of Georgia campus) Opened: 1929 Seating Capacity: About 92,746, making it one of the largest stadiums in the SEC and the entire nation Primary Team: Georgia Bulldogs (SEC) Sanford Stadium is known for its beautiful, classic look, especially the “hedges” — thick, trimmed privet hedges that surround the field and give the stadium a unique, traditional feel. The stadium is built into a natural ravine, which helps create a loud, enclosed atmosphere on game days. It has been expanded several times (1940, 1967, 1981, 1991, 2003, 2018) to reach its current size. Georgia fans pack the stadium, especially for big SEC matchups like Auburn, Tennessee, or Florida. The crowd is known for its “Glory, Glory” chant and Calling the Dawgs (“Go Dawgs! Sic ’em! Woof! Woof! Woof!”). Night games in Athens are considered some of the best environments in college football.
