Sanford Stadium Reviews

Regarding actually watching a football game, I'm not sure there is any better stadium in the country. Seats are good. No obstructions that I am aware of. Room is right for your seat (not too small). And UGA does a great job of enhancing the fan experience on the field beyond their great football team. The LED light show they did prior to the 4th quarter was awesome and unlike anything I've ever seen at any stadium for any event, anywhere.
Concessions and bathroom lines are terrible, so much so that I never ate anything. Had to wait it out to go to bathroom.

I am a Georgia fan and finally made it to my first game. It was hot but so worth it! I had a great time. The stadium, campus and town is awesome! I can’t wait to plan my next trip.

Long time Georgia Bulldog Fan. Been to many SEC Stadiums and wold put this Stadium up against any as being the best!! Love to be between the Hedges on Saturday.

It was interesting you are able to view inside the stadium along the road. Impressed stadium is right on campus.

Where else are you going to see the DAWGS play? There is nothing better than Sanford Stadium on a football Saturday! Right in the heart of campus, so it's a great place to visit even when there is not a game going on.

College football is our thing! We enjoy going to see games and have visited here several times! Always a good time, even when our DAWGS lose!

The best way to watch a UGA game is to watch it live at the stadium. It is an experience with the fan noise and the band + the Dawg walk it can’t be beat. We got tickets on line and made a day with it and walked downtown after the game with more crowds and partying it was great fun.

some people think of it as hallowed ground. there have been a lot of great football games here. they can handle crowds well, but i still miss watching from the tracks. too notch SEC stadium well kept, clean it really gets to rocking on game days

Iv been to a couple of games and I can say it is possibly the most awesome thing in the entire world. That is it period.

We have been season ticket holders for over 20 years. We have progressed from the "sunny side" which will fry you to the shady side. I love the Georgia Bulldogs and love our stadium.
Now that I'm older, I do not go very often. I cannot do the stairs and the top rows don't have hand rails. But our family still goes and enjoys the games.

What's not to like about the greatest team in the SEC, with the greatest fans in the SEC, in the greatest SEC town! (Do you see a pattern here?) Get there early for the Dawg Walk into the stadium, and don't leave until the Redcoat Band plays Tara's Theme after the victory. OADAADHSII! Go Dawgs!

Great stadium; awesome food and always competitive football. Parking is reasonable; tailgating is plentiful.

Sanford Stadium, home of the Georgia Bulldogs is one the the iconic stadiums in the SEC! Easily accessible with lots of game day parking a trip to see the Bulldogs is always memorable!

Came into town for the Texas A&M vs Georgia Bulldog game, Nov 23, 2019. The stadium is a typical large football stadium, especially in the SEC. Gate 2 is a cluster as there was no inspection of clear bags coming into the stadium and we saw many people with flasks and bottles inside the stadium that really needed to be tossed out since they were inebriated. Stadium needs to be updated as the restrooms are too few for the crowd as the game goes on. Once you get into the stadium, it was easy to get to the 2nd and 3rd levels and back out after the game with the escalators as traffic flow was better than most stadiums.

Light show was good at the end of the 3rd qtr, but there was just too much piped in noise, not the noise from the energy of the crowd. Stadium did keep the crowd involved in the game.......Scoreboard could use an upgrade. I would rate this stadium about the same as Clemson or South Carolina's.

Even a game of no significance to the Dawgs provided a great experience with a full stadium and noisy excited fans. The stadium is on a par with professional team stadiums with the exception of the seats, traditional cold bench.

By far the best stadium in the Southeast. Easy to get in and out of. Got some new selections for food and very easy to navigate. Go Dawgs!

Classic college football stadium and home to the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team. You have not been to a football game until you have been to Sanford to witness one "between the hedges" and to sneak a peak at Uga the bulldog mascot who resides in his doghouse on the sidelines during the football game.

Spent a season watching Dawgs play ball !!!! Best stadium in the SEC to watch a game with friendly vendors and close Concessions.....

Home of the Georgia Bulldogs NCAA SEC team! See the famous hedges, UGA, the most famous mascot in football!

The roar of "The Dawg Nation" will inspire you to want to be a Georgia Bulldog and proud to be a graduate of such a wonderful university!

What's not to LOVE??? Best Stadium with the best fans in the Nation! Beautiful Campus. Go early to tailgate, get a ticket and hunker down to watch the bulldogs dominate between the infamous hedges!

We spent the entire day in Athens ahead of a night UGA game here at Sanford Stadium. Great day in a sea of red, as I am a huge fan of college football this was worth the trip.

I love football and I love watching it live. As long as you're not on the third level then you have a good view. Food prices are normal sporting event high prices but at least there's a Chick-fil-A. Go Dawgs!

Home of the Georgia Bulldogs! This is the best place in the Country to watch a college football game! Go Dawgs!!

GATA!

Wonderful first Ga Bulldog game!!!! Gurly really put on a show. I can't wait to go again.....Next time I plan on taking my Grandson when he's old enough to understand.

All seats have great views. Clean and up to date. Close to bookstore so you can get warm if needed. Football is great to see there.

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...

The new additions to the stadium are great. Love the new big screen. The viewing section on the west side is very nice.

Great time watching my boy graduate. Elevator access afterwards was poor for multiple wheelchair users.

Went to G-Day to the anual spring football game and had an excellent time with my son!! Got to the stadium early before 1 pm and got seats in the first row in the end zone with the score board. The stadium look great and we watched the fans pile in for the 4pm start time and Ludacris performance at 3:45 pm which didn't disappoint!! About that time the stadium was rocking as the full 93,000 fans were there to witness history as the Kirby Smart era started and I got this picture of Jacob Eason first touchdown pass to Issac Nauta!! It was a day to remember!

A lot has changed since I came here, first on Band Days to play on the field at halftime during Homecoming back in the '60s, then when I attended UGA in the Early '70s. Needless to say, Sanford has morphed into a monstrous stadium to equal any in the country. You can't see the game from the RR tracks, like in my day, you have to buy a ticket, but it is still a great place to watch a game.

My wife and I made our annual College Football Labor Day trek to the University of Georgia this year, and spent September 1st in Sanford Stadium.
It was a ridiculously hot day, but we were cautious and hung in until the 4th quarter, before departing. Sanford announced a capacity crowd of 92,746, but guessing 90,000 were there at kickoff (not 100% full), MANY less after halftime when the game was no longer in doubt and the heat was brutal.
Things to note: 1) The adjacent Tate Student Center was a madhouse before the game, both with fans needing air conditioning, and its close proximity to Sanford for food and facilities. Make sure you find a pre-game place to sit in Tate (as we did, since we did not tailgate anywhere - Ate lunch in town).
2) Need Georgia gear? - NEVER saw so much stuff as we saw in the adjacent UGA Bookstore! Probably a bit pricey (we did not buy anything there), but NO excuse for not finding something " Dawg " to wear!
Might be cheaper to buy UGA stuff at " The Red Zone " on Clayton Street in Athens.
3) Serious school spirit - These folks LOVE their " Dawgs " -
bigtime early game support, a very huge place, but lots of fun! -
" Sic 'em...Woof! Woof! Woof! "
If you go...….(depending on gametime and weather that day)
a) The ONLY shade is supplied by the press box and suites on the South (home) side of the stadium (which we did) - Sections 327 - 335…...The north side and east end zone seats are totally in the sun....parts of the south side can be as well. Depending on the temp on the day you go, buy your seats accordingly.
b) Stadium had sufficient lavatories, and concession stands...….Concourses were wide enough, and plenty of signs to find your section. A huge but fun place to visit.....easily handled by us as first-timers. Escalators to the upper decks available on the North side of stadium......did not see any on the south side, but might have missed them.
c) Watch the walk - if you park or Uber to downtown, it is DOWNHILL walking from Broad Street to Sanford, but UPHILL going back! Parking was available in town in the $ 15.00-30.00 range if you did not arrange something in advance....we parked outside of town, and Ubered to the campus.
d) Even if tickets are cheap.....DO NOT sit in the 600 level on the North side of the stadium.....seats are INCREDIBLY high and far from the field, and with limited opportunity to move down, as the place is full.
e) We used this recommendation - If coming to Athens from the west (such as Atlanta, which we did) - DON'T use Route 316 - Stay on I-85 to the exit for Route 129 heading south into Athens......Very little traffic, not many lights, ends up right downtown.
Overall....a wonderful campus experience despite the enormous numbers of folks attending. One other suggestion: Unless you can get an elevated seat to see, skip the " Dawg Walk " outside of Tate 2+ hours before the game. Leave that to the diehards.

Located in the middle of UGA Campus and the Historic Downtown area of Athens Georgia this beautiful stadium, home of "between the hedges", has seen some of the greatest college players of all time. Very proud fans and students alike look forward to the Georgia Football season.

It's a college football stadium. As far as I know, there are no public tours of the facility. You can see the famous view, the "hedges", by walking along the road on the side near the student center. Its main function is a center of exploitation of underpaid young men, not a tourist attraction.

I did the game day here a few years ago. It's a good crowd and there's plenty to do at Sanford. Go see the UGA shrine in the corner of the building. There's a free tour available which is really good.

Great stadium, great atmosphere and great place to watch the DAWGS. Can't wait until September. Go DAWGS, sic em!

I've been to Sanford Stadium multiple times over the years and it's a great athletic venue. The restrooms are clean and the seats are decently comfortable.

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.

Even though I am married to an avid GEORGIA fan, with several of our daughters attending UGA, I had never been in the stadium. For years I wanted to attend just one game in the stadium for the experience of being there. We FINALLY went to the South Carolina game last fall, it was totally amazing! It was a RED out game, the atmosphere was so exciting, the fans were great. It was something to actually see the hedges and Que sitting outside his doghouse on the sidelines. The stadium was very clean and well maintained. The weather was absolutely perfect for an early evening game. We tailgated before the game a few blocks away with a fun group of alumni, friends, and family. So, so much fun! You could not ask for more!

Recently remodeled, a historic facility for the University Of Georgia. Something UGA alums are proud of.

Home of Georgia Bulldogs football. Beautiful setting on campus. Great sight lines and gives you the feeling of being close to the field. Seats 92K + fans. One of the largest in the SEC and country. Known for its Privet hedges surrounding the playing field. Hence the 'Tween the Hedges phrase. Great place on a Fall football Saturday in the South.

I love coming to Sanford Stadium to see football games. The stadium doesn't have chairs, just bleachers. Also I do love you can see the inside of the stadium 100 yards away.

Sanford Stadium is a great place to watch college football. The experience can be electrifying with excitement. Beware of the out dated bathrooms (long lines) and the concessions are not good at all.

The sights and sounds of this college town are amazing. The hills give u good walks to burn calories to make room for all the football food and beer. Red and black everywhere.huge stadium with a beautiful campus. So much history #Go Doggs

On non game days it is locked, of course. But you can walk around and see inside from the gates. It's amazing how large it is in real life.

This place is magical...the traditions, the excitement, and the energy are matchless! Even if you're not a DAWG fan, you should experience a game there at least once!

Great atmosphere and beautiful setting for football. I enjoyed it very much and will do it every time I can get tickets for the ball games

The excitement starts when you approach the stadium. Security is awesome and helpful. Restrooms are kept as clean as possible with 92,000 people in attendance. Food lines could be shorter but just part of it. Security is quick to deal with obnoxiously drunk fans and the whole experience is amazing. Go Dawgs!!!

A historical landmark of Athens, GA and home of University of Georgia football. The best way to spend a Saturday with 95,000 of you closest friends. Go Dawgs, Sic'em.

Beautiful stadium with new end zone a the famous hedges. Millions are spent on this facility and it shows.

Not get in but great to look from the outside. Would love to see full game in action.

Seemed a shame you could not get in to walk round but certainly got a flavour from the outside.

93,000 Dawg Fans in one of the most beautiful settings in College Football. A must visit for any college football fan! Attend the Dawg walk with the Redcoat Band and watch the players enter historic Sanford Stadium. Check out the resting place for past "UGA" bulldog mascots inside the stadium. . .and call the Dawgs Between The Famed Hedges ! Gooooooooo Dawgs, Sic 'Em Woof, woof, woof !

This is our favorite past time, Georgia football. We love coming to Athens for this reason. Sanford is a rocking field with great team spirit!

My wife is a HUGE NCAA sports fan (Football and Basketball). Lately our trips always involve stopping at universities and finding the stadiums (I think that will be our agenda for retirement travels). Walking the campus was great and when we finally found the Stadium it was a really nice stadium and worth the nice walk on a hot and humid summers day.

Great stadium with plenty of tail gating locations within easy walking distance to the stadium. Food prices are a bit stiff, but the quality is good.

What can I say about this iconic place that hasn't already been said? Sanford Stadium is like no other. I simply cannot imagine a better place to spend a Saturday with your family than in Athens, Georgia. This is like going to a family reunion with 92,000 of your closest family and friends.
Parking is always an issue in Athens, so come early! Be sure to venture down to the Tate Student Center parking lot to witness the Dawg Walk!

Go Dawgs!

Been a football season ticket holder dating to when Hershel Owned the House--and the SEC. The food's gotten better and more varied, and the scoreboard is a technical marvel--one of the best in the world. I'd give it 5 stars if the bathrooms were more modern--and if there was another national championship flag flying overhead.

There is nothing like fall in the South and attending a UGA football game "Between the Hedges." Even a stroll down Sanford Drive to walk across the bridge looking into the stadium is such a sight to see. Located in the middle of campus it is close to excellent dining and so many other activities.

The 11th largest stadium in the United States, within the urban college camps, and seating a little under 100,000. This is a beautiful camps with approximately 36,000 students.

Saw the LSU Tigers get beaten by UGA and It was the first time I could not hear my own scream at an event. Great atmosphere - love the games here.

Visited Athens for the UGA-Tennessee football game. Got a chance to tour the new players locker room which was gigantic and well appointed. Also had a chance to hang out for the Dawg walk, a tremendous experience overall.Game time experience was jsut as good especially since we pinced on UT and limited any Rocky Top music. We even ran into new UGA BB coach Tom Crean, a great hire for UGA.

I am unabashedly prejudiced. I love Sanford stadium and have attended games there for more than 40 years. The atmosphere is special and the game day traditions unite the fans with the team. If you ever have the chance, go to a game there regardless of the opponent. See first hand the leading religion in the south, college football.

Sanford stadium is right on the UGA campus within walking distance of downtown Athens. There was plenty of seating although for this ceremony only half the stadium was available. Suggest bringing stadium seats if you have them.

Love Sanford stadium and all that it has to offer! We just sadly witnessed our senior daughters commencement ceremony at Sanford knowing it could be our last visit for awhile. As always easy walk from downtown where you tailgate in bars vs. a parking lot. Really neat concept! And always a beautiful walk across the UGA campus to and from. Football games are unreal between the hedges and the best place to watch the DAWGS!

What up with traffic jam around sectii n 120 pregame? Row 52 and up in lowered are covered.....Roll Tide

What a place! I'm used to NFL stadiums that are small in comparison. Sanford holds 93,000 people and become a sea of red. I now understand the term "Between the Hedges". The Redcoat band is incredibly talented and the bulldogs have several players to keep an eye on. How 'bout them Dawgs.

Everyone should visit Sanford stadium for a UGA football game! be sure to wear red and get their early for a tailgate party

Thoroughly loved visiting Sanford Stadium. The campus bookstore offered great souvenirs and well as collegiate memorabilia. Easy to navigate around campus. One of the best campuses we've every visited. If you get a chance to go to the games, you will love this stadium. Well equipped, good food, good fun, friendly fans and gotta love being able to say, you were between the hedges in Dawg country!

This is a special place for me since I attended UGA. Rarely do you see football stadiums in the center of campus but UGA has managed to incorporate a 90,000+ capacity stadium into the middle of the bustling campus. A great place to watch a game!

The best stadium in college football and the best team in college football, we also have the best mascot in college football!!!!

We went here for the 1st time, and it was easy in and out with great seats. We didn't know purses are not allowed, only clear bags, but we corrected the problem. Very easy to our seats and bathrooms nearby. A beautiful place, for a great team.

Easy to take a look "between the hedges". Impressive stadium. A must see if you're a college football fan!

Had the pleasure of attending a UGA football game in a skybox. Given the very hot weather I was thrilled to be in the air conditioning! We entered through a special entrance that takes you to two designated elevators manned by student ushers. Each box has its own bathroom!!! The view of the game is great and there are at least two TVs in the box along with a mini kitchen. For dinner we had brisket and chicken along with Mac-n-cheese, corn and tomato salad, rolls, and cornbread. The dinner was very good. Snacks (popcorn, ice cream, a dessert buffet, a candy buffet for kids, hot dogs, and coffee are all found in the common area near the elevators. I was impressed with both the ice cream and dessert selections. The kids loved it! At a coffee bar you can grab a specialty or regular coffee.

No bad seats anywhere in the stadium. This includes the end zone to the press box suites! Get there early and have reserved parking, otherwise you will hike into the stadium!

We had no wait at our gate when we arrived 30 in before kick off. The sections are signs are clearly marked and we found plenty of staff to answer questions and direct foot traffic. There was very minimal wait at the concession stand. Our section (212) was very clean. Great place!

I have been to football games at numerous venues. Alabama, Auburn, LSU, UNC, Ohio State, Michigan State to name a few. All have their own vibe and energy on game day.

BUT - I have yet to go to another stadium that is located in such a great setting, provides excellent sight lines and ability to move within the stadium.

UGA has its own tailgating vibe. Georgia fans tend to be a bit more gentile. Not that people aren't enjoying themselves, you just don't get the level of craziness and crassness I've experienced at other venues.

Bottom line - if I wanted to pick a place to watch a football game, Sanford Stadium sits at the top.

Best way to spend an afternoon watching the DAWGS! Easy to get in and out, comfortable seating, well maintained. Good food too!

Me and boyfriend just went to the game to see our Alabama boys play for his birthday. The stadium is nice but all the steps you have to walk is kinda ridiculous. Also not being able to take your umbrellas inside is kind of wack. It was raining not stop but at the same time I guess they dont want anyone to get hit. All around it was just ok my team won so no real complaints here.

Seeing a game 'between the hedges' is special - it's Saturday in Athens! Such UGA pride - great atmosphere, great student band, great student section.....and don't forget the world-class tailgaiting prior to the game! Athens/UGA is alive on gameday Saturday - come on down & check it out!

Very large stadium on the heart of UGA's campus. We were not there for a game so we got to see it empty. Very nice.

What an amazing experiience. There can be no feeling like being in Sanford Stadium on gameday, the atmosphere is amazing.

College football games are always crazy and the fans are always the best! Go to a college game and see it for yourself. You'll absolutely love it!

This year was rough, I had family both at the Unversity of Georgia and the University of Cincinnati. I just wore red no-names. Congrats to both teams I hope I have the same dilemma next season. Enjoy going to both home games.

In Sanford Stadium in the fall, all is right with the world. The Hedges, the Redcoat Band, the Silver Britches.....GO DAWGS!!

I'm a huge UGA fan, I love to visit Sanford Stadium. What's not to like. the best stadium and team in the SEC! A must see. you feel it in the air the minute you arrive, the anticipation, the love of the Game of the team of UGA! Stay for awhile Y'all!

Went to see a UGA Bulldogs game here. Seating is comfortable (obviously tested them before the game started and once more at halftime). Snacks are great and decent price. Bathrooms..... well.....you're in a stadium with 75,000 close (mostly drunk) friends that don't have any aim. Not a bad seat in the house. Jumbotron can be seen from everywhere. All in all, a great experience.

They have football games down to a science. Very organized and efficient. Many choices for food and multiple bathrooms.

My first time to a college game, let alone a UGA game! It was amazing walking in and seeing the bright lights and fans so excited! Such a wonderful experience!

Best damn place to watch the dogs play between the hedges crowd gets a rocking and the dogs get a winning

Regular season ticket holders and purchase here at each football game. Any food purchased is quality. As expected the lines are long at halftime but enough locations to select from so you are willing to wait. Wish they would bring back the unlimited drink and popcorn options. Paid more but willing to do so for this option. Go DAWGS.

I started going to Georgia football games at Sanford Stadium before the addition of the first upper decks in the 1960's. Without question there is no other stadium that can match it for the college football experience. Even if you aren't a football fan you should make it a point to spend a Saturday between the hedges.

This is a great stadium to root on the Dawgs! All seats are pretty good! You will get hot if you sit in the sun!!

Been coming to the stadium for over 45 years. Being here on game day brings back
memories, chills and a few tears. After traveling to most other SEC schools, this stadium and campus is at the top. History and old campus brings you back again and again.

Love staying in Athens and attending UGA football games. The only drawback is that there is not enough parking close to the stadium, but the bus service iss excellent out to the atheltic fields.

The vibe in red and black on gameday is electric. The excitement is contagious. The panorama is breathtaking. I love it. I've been attending events there since 1969. The '96 Olympic soccer was phenomenal with an international flair.

I've been going to Dawg games since the student seating consisted of wooden planks. Every seat has great sight lines but try to sit in the South stands so that the Sun is not in your face. You must come early though if you want to find a parking place.

What else do you need? I would not recommend going on non football weekends unless you like sitting in a stadium alone

This is an AWESOME stadium, and it is a lot of fun being here to see the Georgia Bulldogs or going to see marching band festivals. I have been in this stadium numerous times and have some really great memories from being here. Go to the very top during a Georgia game and look around and down at the field. Amazing feeling for Bulldog fan !! Great concessions as well !! I would rather enjoy a game here versus the old former Georgia dome in Atlanta.

I have had UGA season tickets for over 40 years and attended most of the home games in Sanford Stadium during that time and also as a student at UGA. I have watched this stadium improve and expand over many years to the very best in the SEC. It is beautiful, well designed and comfortable even with a full house of 94,000 fans.

Tremendous place to watch a football game, the atmosphere,excitement and the fans make it a memorable experience not to mention a very good football team that comes with it.

We have lots of memories here. And they go way back too - lotsa football, bands -- remember the Dixie Redcoat Band? Good memories all, no disrespect just good time and great Memories!! Herschel Walker comes to mind now!! Many others too. If you are in the area, stop by and walk around and soak up the history. And, remember, GO DAWGS!!

There is nothing...and I mean NOTHING...like being in Sanford Stadium for a UGA home football game. The stadium is everything a college football stadium should be. I brought my son to his first game this year and he loved everything about this place. We were able to come back the day after the game and walk around and see some things we couldn't see during the game.

We visited for the GA vs Tennessee Game. It was unbelievably hot and unfortunately, we weren't sitting in the club section which is covered and features ceiling fans. So,
before halftime, we retreated to the Tate Student Center which is located on the other side of the bridge and is a 30 second walk. The Tate center has a movie theater (air conditioned) where they show the game. This was a great option for us.

The first time my wife and I saw Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia in Athens, we stopped our car on the Gillis Bridge or Sanford Bridge, a major transportation artery to the stadium, and marveled at the view of the interior of the stadium and the campus and the rolling hills from the open west end zone of what has been referred to as the "most beautiful on-campus stadium" in the country. Today, that view is gone. In 1991, the west end zone was enclosed, creating a partial bowl. And in 2005, a 52-foot by 76-foot scoreboard was installed in the west end zone to completely blot out the view from the bridge. Along the way, after an upper deck was added to the north side in 2003, the capacity was increased from 86,000 to 92,746. Sanford Stadium is the 11th largest stadium in the United States and the 17th largest in the world. It is one of only two Southeastern Conference schools where the football field is oriented to face east-west instead of north-south. But, most of all, what sets Sanford Stadium apart from others are the privet hedges, which were part of the original design when the stadium opened in 1929. The current hedges were planted in 1996. "Playing between the hedges" on a natural grass surface is a traditional theme when opponents come to Athens to play the Georgia Bulldogs.

if you love the dawgs, then you already know all about Saturdays between the hedges. if you don't, how did you get to this page?

I was in Athens specifically to visit the University of Georgia and Sanford Stadium. I purchased Bulldog hats, t-shirts, and a regular black Bulldog shirt. I spent two hours touring the campus and Sanford Stadium was the highlight of my visit. This visit was a real treat for a died in the wool Georgia fan!

Okay, as a Georgia alum, I'm biased. But Sanford is a good stadium for viewing a game with good sightlines all around. And, of course, the crowd brings Southern football passion to the proceedings. Sitting right smack in the middle of campus gives Sanford an atmosphere most other stadiums don't possess. Unlike the single giant parking lot tailgate scene at many stadiums, the Athens scene varies from big parking lots full of people to a few chairs and a grill under an oak tree. Throw in the fact that Athens is one of America's great college towns—downtown is short walk from the stadium—and you have a Saturday as good as it gets. Bathrooms can definitely have waits and the concessions are so-so but you're here for SEC football. And if you've never been to an SEC showdown, you owe it to yourself to attend one, whether it's here, Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, wherever.

Impressive stadium for college football tournament. I attended a game of the Georgia bulldogs (winning) and the spectacle of the attendants, band cheer leaders, students was really magnificent, even more than the match itself. It was an amusing experience of sport and American lifestyle

This is a really great venue. It's easy to get to and easy to find your way around. This venue is extremely clean for a stadium. I was very impressed. Great first experience with this stadium.

I see all of the reviews. I can understand the high ratings in relation to the experience at the stadium. But the stadium itself, well, it is just a stadium in the middle of a very large campus. Nothing special about it design or architecture.

fabulous spirit before and during the game. Had the privilege of being in a sky box. Only way to go to a game.

We enjoyed a great game on the club level. It was HOT and sunny and our seats were covered and had ceiling fans.

Went here with our son for Family Weekend. We had to walk about 6 blocks to get to the stadium. They gave us the nosebleed seats. I'm no spring chicken- so several flights of stairs was taxing. Maybe they do that so you spend more on drinks. The food is overpriced. But, the experience is worth a Million! I vote for an elevator or escalator.

The stadium is everything a college football stadium should be. It is a great place to watch college football on Saturdays played between the hedges. It is the SEC at its best.

Always have enjoyed going to games at Sanford Stadium. They have added additional venders walking in the stands which has made getting drinks much easier.

Bring your significant other with and watch the greatest football team in America! Hurry because the season will be over before you know it!

If you even like football, you must experience a game in Sanford Stadium to watch the Bulldogs play and experience the electricity that the fans generate! In my opinion, it is worth the price to sit on the second level. You have your own restrooms and eating facilities, PLUS you are protected from the weather. Considering the price you pay to see a game, you will always see it in comfort, and not have to worry about the weather.

It's Athens, and it's Sanford Stadium and both are forever etched in my mind as special places on Earth. The stadium is electric when the Dawgs play and the campus is beautiful and very clean for a college campus. GO DAWGS!

if you know anything about american style football (read: players do NOT kick the ball too often), then you know that Athens is the home of the University of Georgia Bulldogs college team. Visit on a home game day and you'll be amazed how this town and stadium transforms itself into a veritable southern carnival!

There really isn't a bad seat in the place and we tried out a few at the Georgia-Kentucky game. Our tickets were actually in section 602, row 20 (you can't get any higher). We'd brought a friend who had never been to a Georgia game, so after the 1st quarter we moved down to the back of section 135 so he could hear the band better. Smart move. We were under the overhang, which provided relief from the chilly wind, the band sounded great and the players didn't look like ants. It's not the newest stadium, so the public areas are a little dingy, concession lines and restroom lines can be long. The area dedicated to Georgia's mascots of the past is quite touching and deserves a moment. If you can find a way in on non game days, that can be a treat too. We probably weren't supposed to be able to get in, but found an opening when my son was 3. We were able to walk around the track, touch the hedges and rub the concrete bulldog where the players take the field. It was pretty cool.

Great time at Sanford Stadium watching the Bulldogs play. To be perfectly honest my husband and I, who are both senior citizens, were there for the primary purpose of seeing our son perform in the UGA marching band. But it was a great experience. Tail-gating was great too

Not a lot can beat Saturday football in the SEC ...... Samford Stadium is a great place to watch a game....only problem I had wasn't dodging of empty liquor bottles but getting out of Athens after the game so be prepared.....

The best place in the country to experience a football game. Easy entrance and friendly staff. Good control to get 93 thousand people to attend and behave. Great views of the field.

Home of the Dawgs...love Sanford Stadium and UGA. The place is electric between the hedges! Nothing like the experience and a lot of fun during rivalry weekends! The only downside is the hotels in Athens gouge you during game day weekends if you stay overnight.

Tough walk in flip flops, but worth it. The stadium is great! Everyone in Athens was super friendly to this Clemson fan ;-)

I followed my Missouri Tigers to Athens as part of my goal to see a Tigers game in all of the SEC stadiums. This classic stadium and field did not disappoint. The fans are very much into the game, which creates a fan-tastic experience. The stadium is within easy walking distance of the downtown establishments. There seemed to be ample parking in the area. Be ready to walk some stairs if you have a seat in the lower rows of a section. Being an older and very large stadium, there aren't many levels to reduce stairs, so you may have to up to 80-90 stairs to reach the lowest seats. Local fans treat visitors with respect and kindness.

Smack dab in the middle of campus. Lots of sunshine. Right across from
The student center. Would love to see it on a game day. Go Dawgs!!!!

We attended a football game as part of parent's weekend in September. Our daughter is a freshman at UGA this year.
The stadium ts clean and well maintained.. We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express nearby so we walked to the stadium. Parking looked crazy difficult as there seems to be no parking near the stadium.
The school spirit was loud and fun and the Bulldogs won so it was a great afternoon. We will definitely plan another visit on a game day weekend next year.

Sanford Stadium is my home away from home. Lifelong Dawg fan and have been to this hallowed field of play literally all of my life. You've never seen a more beautiful campus or college football stadium. From tailgating to the Dawg Walk to the Redcoat Band playing Glory Glory with solo trumpet on top of the stadium, the video board coming to life and the iconic voice of Larry Munson saying "Glory Glory to old Georgia"....gets me choked up everytime. Can't wait until my toddler is old enough to go and handle the noise.

Even though I went to Sanford Stadium as an Auburn fan, I had a great experience here. The field is beautiful-- I love the hedges. The stadium was clean, the fans were nice.

Sanford Stadium is a must see tfor all new comers to Athens. If you like football, you'll love it here, a beautiful field, great stadium , and one of the better pre game tail gating experiences you'll find. The concourses can get a bit crowded, and lines long, but the stadium has significantly improved food options in the past few years, and you won't find a crowd having much more fun than the rapid Bulldog fans.

I was a fan from the visiting school wearing my team's gear. However, people were very friendly and me and my friends had a great time.

Stadium is old but well maintained and the Georgia fans are very loud which made the low scoring game more exciting.

I would like to return - great overall experience.

Home of the University of Ga Bulldogs football team. Suggestion to get in early to beat the crowd and watch the team warm up. Seats in the upper deck can get very hot at times

This is an incredible stadium situated in a small valley that is in the heart of the UGA campus. The views at sunset are great and the one side of the stadium that opens up faces west. The new graphics in the concourse are great and the new plaza that opens to the bridge will be a great addition.

This is the place to be during SEC Football! Great coaches, great team and great people! Go DAWGS, Sic 'em!

Even if Georgia Football is not your passion Sanford Stadium is an amazing venue with a great view of whatever is happening on the field. The grounds crew does an amazing job with those famous hedges and the skybox amenities are truly top notch. Whether you want to be near the field where the band and the dawgs play or behind the glass with a bird's eye view Sanford Stadium is sure to please.

The stadium is very well laid out. Plenty of restrooms and concessions. The Walking bridge offers a great view of the field.

Between the Hedges at Sanford Stadium is a beautiful place. Clean, courteous, easy to maneuver around.

The venue keeps getting better and better. I have been here for several football games as a spectator as well and working concessions for my kids HS band. The new West end upgrades are going to make it even better.

Had a child attend UGA and graduate but never attended a football game. I use to say “Go Dogs” automatically when the word bulldog, the colors red and black or Athens was mentioned. I use to go into a low growl when, Clemson,Auburn,
Gamecocks etc, etc, were mentioned.
Never understood it until I finally attended a game. We,my son and husband went to a night game. We watched as the crowd(s) performed pre-game rituals in tail gate tents and at the campus commons. We marveled at the painted people, yeah there were people there painted red with black markings.
And of course the bulldog Uggie?,(I think that was his name)in his great dog house on the field. The crowd pointing in unison to indicate first half. And last but not least, one of the best college bands kicking starting off the game and keeping the fans pumped.
I still become breathless in the retelling of my experience!
I loved it!

One thing, Do Not Bring Any Bags or Purses UNLESS in Clear
Plastic!! You Will Not Be Allowed In The STADIUM!!

NO EXCEPTIONS. Be safe.

This was our first time at a Bulldogs game. The Dawgs won but the game was terrible (barely beat Nichols State). We sat on the North side, section 305 and couldn't have been hotter. It was 92 at game time but it felt like 102. The lines for drinks were long and slow. At least the drinks were nice and cold - but, so was the pizza. One nice thing is that they had a large tank of water that you could use to refill water bottles and cups for free. As for getting there, plan on lots of traffic on the way in so bring your patience. For parking, I highly suggest purchasing a parking pass since many of the lots near the stadium don't take cash. Overall, it was fun watching them play and watching the fans show so much support for the team.

athens is a nice town its always feel welcoming when you are there if you are a big Ga Bulldog fan then its a have place to go

I'm a Georgia graduate so what would you expect me to say! BUT it's true!! Beautiful campus and the stadium is the crown jewel of the university.

There is nothing quite like being "between the hedges" on a Saturday in Athens!! The atmosphere is always electric! :)

Best place in the South to watch the Georgia Bulldogs! Situated right in the middle of the UGA campus and easy to get to. Great viewing from any seat in the stadium. College football at its best!

Between the Hedges is the best place to socialize with 92,000+ of your closest friends on Fall Saturdays in Athens, GA.

I can’t think if a better place to be on a fall Saturday. If you love the Dawgs or just SEC football it’s a must do.

Great stadium with plenty of food choices and pretty clean but geeze, do they cram everyone in for these games (even the "lesser" ones)! Highly recommend you get the special padded seats and sit in the shade through October (opposite the student section).

Sanford Stadium is a place like no other! Thousands of screaming fans, a sea of red and black, and a beautiful bright green field between the hedges set the stage for some of the most exciting moments in life. The sun, shining down across the beautiful town of Athens, Georgia brings a joyful day for anyone attending a game at Sanford Stadium, but the night games are just as amazing. The last time I was there, when I heard the GA fight song rising into the air, I admit, I was covered with chills! Exhilarating!

As a former student, I am a little biased, but there is no better place to be on a Saturday in the fall than taking in a game at Sanford Stadium. There are no bad seats in the stadium; each section gives you a little different view to enjoy the game. The atmosphere is always amazing; fans young and old gather together to enjoy the traditions Georgia has to offer. This is a must-see/must-visit for any SEC or even college football fan. The fan base is always very friendly and you always feel right at home cheering on the Dawgs.

Got a chance to watch Georgia whup up on Tennessee last week at the Mecca of football. Great stadium, also got a special tour of all the new renovations including meeting rooms, locker rooms, recruiting lounge, excellent experience not available to everyone. Got to see the great Hershel Walker and Rick Flair. Saw all the players lockers and equipment. Unbelievable...

We saw restoration works going on today at the stadium, but experienced the stadium from Starbucks at the Tate. The construction of Sanford Stadium is awesome: elegant, strong and modern.

People scream here. They drink beer and yell at people they don’t know and eat hotdogs and talk with their mouths full. They bark at each other, too. Temporary insanity happens here regularly. Bring your camera and don’t cheer for anyone not wearing red and black. Trust me on this one.

One of the best places to watch a football game! I've been to games around the country and SEC...Sanford Stadium is electric and makes the ticket price worth it. While I am a Dawgs fan, I did not graduate from UGA...so this is a pretty non-biased opinion.

One of the best college stadiums you will ever visit! Such a great atmosphere and there's not a bad seat in the house!

The seats are hard on your back. It’s concrete. Couldn’t stay the whole game because I was in pain. No beer. Paid $22 for plain hamburgers with potato chips and bottled drink. Never again. I suppose we are too old to do all this walking and climbing. Will watch from home next time. Go dawgs! It was ok for our first time ever.

Awesome time great food but prices are way to high!..and security was rude about me vaping....good dawgs sic'em woof woof woof!!!

Who’s that comin down the track? Mean machine in red and black. Ain’t nuthin finer in the land, than a drunk obnoxious GEORGIA fan ! Go Dawgs !

We love our visits to Sandford stadium. Crowd is usually good and thankfully our seats were close to the bathroom running back and forth with my 9 year old.

Be a part of the dawg walk 2 hours before the game. Take stroll around around the hedges and take in this amazing stadium. 92,000+ of your closest friends!

We have watched UGA football for years on TV. VisitinG between the hedges was great even without a game. One of the most accessible stadiums I have visited.

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.

This is an amazing stadium! Not a bad seat and fantastic atmosphere as the Dawgs fans always pack it! It sounds right in the middle of Campus and ads to the whole feeling of the University. This must be one of the best campuses in the country.

If you are an SEC fan it is a must do to check out between the hedges. Saturdays in Athens are like nothing else! Wear your red and black!

The stadium is somewhat dated, but nice. The seats are comfortable and the concession stands are adequate. The Georgia fans are extremely friendly and welcoming. The access to the stadium is only by walking...there doesn't appear to be any vehicle parking at the stadium. It was a very enjoyable experience. I will definitely return when our schedules cross again.

I have jusg came to athens as an student and i have seen so many advertisement on this game day all around campus. Most placds jn campus are avaible for parking also there are so many tail gatjng gojng on around the stadium and some other parts of campus.
The stadium has a fairly good facility anx design to host people comming from all over the country ...
There are enougb restromms and fast food, you can get some fair number of non-alcoholic beversge including a big free refill cup for 8$.
Gates are very good and the crowd moves in a logical speed.
There are good discount for students, also students get some dedicated decks which is nice.
Though be sure to get there one-2 hours before the game to bet a good seat.

The stadium is within walking distance from downtown Athens. It is about a 10 minute walk. The atmosphere around the stadium is what you expect at a college game with all the tailgating, the vendors, the students, and fans in team colors.

The interesting thing about the stadium is you can actually watch a game from the outside next to the giant TV near the students sections. You don't need a ticket. Also, the stadium is located next to train track and a cemetery.

A Georgia game should be part of your National College football tour. I got a good deal on seats on a reseller site with chairbacks. The stadium did not sell beer. Did not matter.

The staff is very helpful in getting you to your seat. For parking, you can park in some lots in downtown Athens and walk to the game. Or just a little and park on the street and walk a while to the stadium to avoid the stiff parking fees.

Love it.. Best place on earth in the Fall. Will def be back in a few months. Hunker down big dawg.. Cant wait

Sanford Stadium is one of the best settings for college football in the nation. Sits in a valley, easy access into stadium, great sightlines, parking is tough near the stadium, but accessible further away

Big stadium right on the East side of the campus. Across the street conveniently located is the college book store. My son was disappointed Fe couldn't go inside. It was not football season and the stadium was locked. Either way he had fun checking out the massive stadium.

Home of the UGA Bulldogs Football and some of the greatest Saturdays in my life since I was a Freshman in 1988. The new lights were on display against Notre Dame and they were amazing. Huge jumbo screen, great sound system, best hedges in football, previous UGA mascots are buried there, new team locker room is PIMP, not a bad seat in the house. GOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!

Short lines at this beautiful stadium. Friendly employees at the snack bars. Clean restrooms. Great fan base. Highly recommend!

We've been coming for decades to games here. So many memories! Our oldest grandchild just started this past year, so the tradition continues! Family friendly. Go Bulldogs!

most enthusiastic football crowd south of the Mason-Dixon line!
it's a bonus that the Bulldogs are one of the best teams in the South. but even if you're on the opposing team, this stadium sits on one of the friendliest and homeliest academic towns in America.
you can't go wrong with a football trip to Athens.

Sanford Stadium is amazing if you love the bulldogs, but who doesn't?! It's big, loud, and has a lot of little hidden neat things to see. You're not a true bulldog fan if you haven't been to the Sanford Stadium!

This place is massive now. I attended my first UGA game in 1979. We sat on the hill leading up to the (train) tracks at the then open end portion of the stadium. It only cost $1 each to sit there. You could bring all the alcohol you could carry to your seat back then. Sanford Stadium only held 60-70 thousand people back then and was in the shape of a horseshoe. Today, the stadium has long since claimed our $1 "track" seats as part of the multiple stadium renovation plans through the years. Now the stadium is in line with many of the other mega stadiums of the SEC (UT, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, etc.), which is good I guess! Change is inevitable! Bigger, better, stronger, faster! But if you drift back in time 35 years when things weren't quite so commercialized and made for massive TV rights contracts it wasn’t bad then either. Things back then were actually fun! There was no security, mostly because you didn't need any. You didn't have to pay a month's salary to get 2 good seats from scalpers to see your favorite game. You just went to the game and winged it! Which is fine for 18-19 year old college students who had a thirst for beer and a distaste for overpriced game tickets. $1 track seats leave a lot of money in the budget for more important things, like (pony keg) beer, to a young college student. All that is decorations though! What's important is what's down on the field. The field at Sanford Stadium is still grass, and game is still played between the hedges and in from of all the departed UGA Dawg Mausoleums. It's still my favorite football stadium! No matter what they do to the outside! Go Dawgs!

Sanford Stadium is an awesome place to attend an SEC football game. The atmosphere is electric, especially when the Dogs are doing well. TV is no substitute for attendance at the live game. The high seats are a little ways from the field, but the giant screen and replays keep everyone up to date on the happenings. Every football fan needs to attend at least one SEC game at Sanford Stadium.

Any day at Sanford Stadium for a game is a great day. Food is good, atmosphere is electric, especially if you are there to see the Georgia Bulldogs play. Go Dawgs!

It's big. It's loud. It's obnoxious. UGA's Sanford stadium is an intimidating place for players and fans of football alike, but a great place to watch college football on Saturdays. Views from the stands are good, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from SEC fans. However, the concessions are hard to access, and big games can be very crowded.

Nothing better than watching the Georgia Bulldogs! win or lose, but this weekend they killed Clemson!

Raised as a Georgia fan in the South is great on Saturdays in the Fall you can go to a place called home which is Athens, Georgia. Georgia Fans are nice and Friendly

Always MUST Have A Hot Dog and Diet Coke In Sanford Stadium Prior To A UGA Game. Love It... Go Dawgs !!!

We were there for my son's football specialist camp. The kickers got to go kick in the stadium which was a blast. The new score board was being worked on and they had last season's highlights playing. Very good sound quality and great video display.

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.

Visited Athens for the AU/GA game on November 12th, this was our first trip to Sanford stadium. The Stadium is nice with a good view of the field from most seats. We were actually in Section 605, but I was surprised at how good our view was of the entire field.

Top Notch College Football Stadium.

I was not here for a game, just passing through town.

Free to visit.

The open end zone is open for inspection.

You can look down into the bowl but are allowed to go into it.

Parking is extremely limited, be careful, don't get a ticket.

Very cool history. You can see the Champion Banners as you walk around the outside of the stadium.

Herschel Walker dominated here!

I liked the fact that the University of Georgia pounded the Vanderbilt Commodores 44-17. I did not like the fact that the Vanderbilt Commodores scored 17 points.

The UGAAA is making great additions to the stadium and making the FAN experience so much nicer for all. All fans are looking forward to the new additions, the new scoreboard and all. The DAWGS need to show up now and all will be good.

I'm not a football fan, but being in Sanford stadium in a gameday was a moving experience and I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was amazing.

Great stadium on a beautiful campus in a great college town. Everything that makes college football great. Not a bad seat, good sight lines. Lots of history.

This place just gets better and better! The new graphics inside really add to the have day experience. You can truly feel the history all around you.

Never miss a home game and very few away games. Go with family and friends all ages. Not because it is our home stadium but because of accessibility, cleanliness, friendly attendants and parking it is the one of the best stadiums we have visited. Well worth a trip and great family fun!!

I have visited Sanford Stadium in Athens, home of the Georgia Bulldogs on numerous occasions. “Between the Hedges” is a superb place to watch college football. The food choices are traditional stadium eats with the addition of Dreamland Barbeque! The rest rooms are clean and family friendly. The UGA bookstore is right outside bridge entrance. Go Dawgs!

We went to see the Galaxy vs San Jose... 55,000.... even though we really got trashed... the stadium... city and ambiance was completely great.

as a visiting fan I was less than impressed with Sanford. Not meaning and disrespect at all . We were sitting in the upper deck in the visiting section. Had absolutely no view of the scoreboard. also the stadium seemed quiet to us.

I walked by Sanford Stadium, butI didn't attend a game on this trip. I have attended games here on 4 separate occasions, and I can tell you it is a great place to watch a football game.

To fully experience a Georgia Bulldogs fall game day one must first go around 11am behind Stegman Hall to hear Red Coat Band Pre Game Show and see the Dog Walk. Then go back to you tailgating place to eat before entering the Stadium. When you enter the Stadium be sure to remember the feeling of excitement. After finding your seat make sure and the check your tickets stubs to not get lost. Enjoy your visit and cheer on the DAWGS!

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.

This is the UGA football field and is one amazing experience. Over 95,000 of your closest friends gather on Saturday to cheer on the Bulldogs. It's electrifying

We visited Sanford Stadium while on a recent road tour, on a Saturday morning prior to 7 pm kick off match. It was worth the trip as the stadium is awesome, and the staff were very helpful in allowing us to take some great photographs for our memories. All the Dogs fans we met in Athens were very friendly to us English guys, and made us most welcome. Worth the road trip detour to visit thus fantastic stadium

I have attended two games in the last month at Sanford Stadium. The food was great, the crowd was enjoyable, and the Dawgs put on a heck of a show!

Hard to beat Athens on game day. Tailgating on the railroad tracks. Walking to the stadium. Cheering as the team takes the field.
Whether you are a fan, an alumni, or a student, this place is special.

Even though I am not a dawg fan, my wife is and wanted to see Sanford Stadium.
Was disappointed they did not have tours where you go down on the field or near the hedges during off season.
She wants me to rate it 5 stars so I will.

For a stadium that holds 95,000, 6-7 times per year, it could be a lot better. Cell service is minimal and no in-stadium wi-fi. One Jumbotron, so if you're in the open endzone, you can't see it without turning around. Bad system of getting fans around. If everyone is going one way, you're worse than a salmon swimming upstream. The scenery and location is very convenient for an on-campus stadium. Stadium security was solid for entrants and searches.

Great place to watch a game. Awesome atmosphere on game days. If you are a Georgia Bulldog fan you need to visit.

Loved finally seeing a game. Very neat stadium - loved the hedges. Great area, campus, game. Very fun time. So glad we got to see Georgia play Murray State University. I love Georgia football but have to say GO RACERS.
Check out the field if in Athens - it is really nice.

The venue of the 1996 Olympic Soccer and the home of the UGA Bulldogs, this venue is great to see. This is especially so when this is a game in play. Nestled in the ground of the University of Georgia, this venue invites you to see its splendour. Recommended.

I love Sanford Stadium, the hedges, the sea of red, UGA, the north Georgia air on a beautiful fall day, the players, coaches, the Redcoat band & fans! It is the best place on earth on game day.

If you don't know Athens, this is the place to be during Home games in the football season. Lots of tailgating, perfect for family time.
There is also something called G-day and entrance to the stadium is free !

Well designed ( more ladies rooms than the Georgia Tech stadium!), easily accessible. Sanford Stadium is as comfortable as a stadium gets. The big screens also sports fans to see all of the action even if not sitting on the 50th yard line.

Love going to games here. Once you get the hang of the layout its easy to find your seat/section. I just wish the lower level (60 rows) had handrails. Going down is scary!

Love the stadium. Parking close by is expensive so be prepared to walk. Get there early for the Dawg walk.

This stadium is fantastic! There is a refreshment to meet your wants/needs. Watching the Dawgs play between the hedges is the best way to spend any football Saturday.

Fall Saturday's are the best for Football! I have grown up coming to GA games and just love this place!

nice photo op we took pics in front of the stadium from the road great view. the place is huge sits about 92,000

There is nothing...and I mean NOTHING...like being in Sanford Stadium for a UGA home football game. The stadium is everything a college football stadium should be. Be sure to check out the little cemetery dedicated to the Bulldog's mascot, UGA. It's a little creepy, but unique. Go Dawgs!

Just walking around the outside and on the bridge at Sanford Drive is just awesome. It's a focal point on the campus and no tour or walk at UGA is complete without going to Sanford Stadium.

Went on a Sunday while on a short course to UGA during the fall break. The day was sunny, and I was the only person in the stadium. The empty stadium looks great (I'm not much of an American Football fan). Go DAWGS!

What a historic stadium that has changed greatly over its 90 years! The new locker room and recruiting area is top notch. I truly love how the stadium is in the middle of campus and in the middle of a valley as if the stands follow the contours of the hillsides.

The best place for college game days! Beautiful! Such a part of college life and beyond (I am 20 years beyond).

We didn't actually see a game here--at least not in the last 52 years, but we wanted to view the current edition from outside. It is most impressive and is soon to undergo another renovation and enlargement.

The campus is still lovely, and the new buildings and improvements keep the same flavor of the original buildings. The roads are very accessible for such a large campus, and the speed limits and crosswalks are all well done.

Come on this is the best college football stadium around!!!! Wow and add a new SEC spring game attendance record !!! Glad UGA finally got SMART and hired a new coach!!!

There is nothing like the home of the Georgia Bulldogs. If you never experienced a game on a crisp fall afternoon, it should be on your bucket list if even you are not a big football fan. The only downside for me is a few fans who might become over exuberant, usually due to alcohol consumption. You will almost certainly have a long walk before and after the game. It is the price you pay to cheer on the Dawgs with 92,000 of your closest friends.

Opening with the Dawg Walk by the famous Red Coat Marching Band, the excitement of the day along with all the enthusiasm of the student body is something you should experience first hand. The walkway outside the Stadium is the perfect setting for the grand entrance of the team, cheer leaders and coaches as the Band surrounds them and the hundreds of fans cheer from bridges, stairways and balconies. If you can't get tickets come to Athens anyway for the "Walk" then spend the day at a restaurant watching, eating and cheering!

They only keep making it better. Plenty of restrooms. Handicap help if you need it. (Wish there were better parking options for this...as you have to park at east campus and ride the bus to get there. The downside is it’s the exact opposite from the side we have our seats and we can’t leave early if needed due to the busses not running until the game is over. If there were ever an emergency, it would be rough. Luckily we don’t have to worry about it except when our friend comes to town. This does need to be addressed though.).
Back to the bathrooms. They’re usually attended so backups, empty toilet rolls/paper towels are promptly taken care of. Staff is always friendly. Screen only gets better. An upgrade is on the way for next season and there was nothing wrong with the last one. Only thing missing is a new national championship banner there...🤞🤞🤞

There's nothing finer in the land! The atmosphere, the people, the traditions. It will leave a lasting impression.

My wife's customers invited us to the Ga/Alabama game. Despite a moderate to heavy rain, the pregame atmosphere was electric. The audiovisual in the stadium are amazing. The crowd was crazy. Unfortunately Alabama was too much for the Dawgs. It's a bucket list trip for any college football fan. Get there if you can!!

The stadium continues to get more user friendly each year. They have ample concession stands and good service. As with any stadium, the snack bars and bathrooms have lines at high activity times like half-time and pregame. Every seat is a good one and there is also a large TV at the north end. The NCAA now allows colleges to play other games on the TV so you can see college football highlights during stops in the action. In contrast to previous years, you can now get excellent cell service for calls and texting.

It is a wonderful place to be on a Saturday for a home game day. The population of the county doubles on game days so be prepared for traffic. Lots of tailgate options available.

Electric …. That’s how the stadium feels when the DAWGS are playing! There is no way you won’t have fun! Just check on the concessions….they don’t take cash last time I was there.

what a stadium! It's worth visiting and watching a football match. I loved the promotional video before the match. Breathtaking!

As a football fan but not a Georgia fan, I can say that Sanford is a fun place to go.

Because it is an old college stadium the concourses are cramped cement walkways. If you are used to NFL stadiums where they are rebuilt every few years to suit the whims of the public, this isn't like that.

The security is everywhere, and the red boxes behind the top row are especially irritating. They are manned to keep people from standing behind the back rows and they are serious about it.

The concession stands are old and slow, the food is typically overpriced and not very good.

Long lines for bathrooms, especially the women. Big surprise. At least the urinals are not troughs. Haha.

So why a 4 rating? Heck, the game and atmosphere from the seats is why you are there!

A beautiful and awe inspiring place to visit and watch Georgia play. The history, The legends that played there and The hedges; what else is there to say.

I've watched sporting events and concerts in venues all over the country and a few continents. The overall production in Athens is the best. The stadium is beautiful and the place is in excellent condition. The pregame show is incredible, and the bear between the 3rd and 4th quarters with the light show and crowd participation is world-class.

My only complaint is the ushers at the top of the aisles should be more efficient. Our seats are in a section where the walkway ends, and people sitting below the 35th row come to a dead end. They should have been instructed to go down the adjacent aisle.

I finally got to visit and walk around the greatest University ever. Great trip and nice faculty. Go DAWGS!!

Sanford stadium is one of my favorite places on earth. The place easy to get in and out of. Food is expensive but watching the Dawgs play is worth every penny

As a fan of college football, it is always fun to travel to new places, experience their tradition and take in the atmosphere.

Sanford Stadium was full of friendly fans. The concession stands have the usual fare along with some local favorites - boiled peanuts!

This place is huge but if you're a Dawgs fan, it's home. I believe it seats 93,000 people. It's awfully steep if you have seats in the nosebleed section.

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.

Athens is a Fantastic college town and Sanford Stadium is right in the middle of campus! The stadium is huge but doesn't have a bad seat in it!! GO Dawgs!!!!

If you are a fan of UGA, you have to visit the Mecca of Bulldog nation. The atmosphere here is unmatched and can not be met anywhere else you watch a game as a Bulldogs fan.

Sanford Stadium is a wonderful venue for watching college football "between the hedges". Sanford is the home field for the University of Georgia Bulldogs . It is a beautiful stadium with great views all around the stadium.

We were in town for a wedding and being AU and U of A grads, we had never been to the stadium. The gates were open and we got to walk around and explore on our own. Very nice stadium!

Attended UGA Football game- Beautiful Stadium, Great History & Tradition...’Classic’ SEC Football Stadium for any/all football fan!

Place was packed. Beautiful stadium. It was very clean. The help was outstanding. It is a must visit for any football fan. And the Dawgs won!!!

I am a Georgia Bulldog fan but I love football and appreciate great campuses. The atmosphere of UGAs Sanford Stadium is top notch. The seating is better than many stadiums I have visited and this is important as I am 6’3” and do not like to be too cramped. I’ve never had to wait too long for food or drinks and the bathroom lines are short or non existent (for men, can’t speak for ladies). The new Jumbo Screen has great detail and is easy to see even in the sun. I prefer sitting on the South-Southwest side of the stadium. The club seats at the end zone are great for staying out of the sun and rain but I don’t enjoy watching the game from that view as well (but the chairs are great!).

I understand a non fan will likely have some negativity but my observations are that visitors are treated well. Leaving the stadium with >92k other fans can take a while unless you know the local roads.

Enjoy your time there! Don’t forget to ring the bell at the Chapel on your way out after a victory!!! Go Dawgs!!!

Will be spending a lot of time here in the next four years. If you can't get into the spirit here, take up another sport. Fans are great, facilities are good and the games are very entertaining. Go Dawgs!

The stadium is so nice! There was a lot of construction around it but the area is still very clean and perfect for photos. There is also a convenient bus stop right at the stadium.

I am biased, but this is classic D1 football in a stadium with open views to the west, updated facilities and some of the best fans you will find. This visit we watched a 16year old daughter of a friend get her first taste of the tradition and pageantry of SEC football-her grin and the look in her eyes was priceless.

I like to go to Sanford Stadium to watch UGA beat up on opposing teams. If you are young, the student section is where you want to be. Be sure to have pre-game drinks if you are a normal college student.

It's a great stadium with plenty of seating. Once you get into the stadium you can pretty much sit anywhere until you're asked to move. Fans were nice enough.

Sanford is excellent. It is always clean and energetic. Parking is tough, but if you don't mind a walk you will be fine. We went to a game and had fun. Security was doing an excellent job keeping everyone safe and removing troublemakers.

Going to an UGA game is an awesome experience. People are nice, food service folks are nice, it's clean, bathrooms aplenty, etc. I sure do miss the days when one could sit on the tracks and watch the game; could've saved some money if I could. Overall, a excellent professionally managed venue.

Tons of alumni and friends converged onto this perfectly situated stadium right on the edge of UGA campus! Great Spring ball, inter squad event. Fans at UGA are so very engaged and spirited routing for their DAWGS!!

Sanford Stadium was amazing! I've never seen or been to a game that all the UGA fans were into the game and hype. Difficult stadium to win if you're the opposing team. The UGA fans were polite and welcoming to us, Go Irish! 🍀

If you like college football then you will love a Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. tailgating is second to none. A great way to spend a Saturday with family and friends.

This is a beautiful stadium that seats 90,000+ and is clean and well kept. We have season tickets and always enjoy coming to see the Dawgs play!! There is a lot of parking available - both public lots and parking pass lots. The concession stands are neat/clean and there are plenty of them. They also have specialty stands for BBQ, shaved iced and funnel cakes. A super jumbo-tron and lots of staff to get you in the gates and seated quickly. Sanford Stadium is heaven on earth for football fans - like us!

Great place to experience SEC football. Updated stadium with easy access and exceptional atmosphere. Worth the price of admission! Athens is a great college town to hang out after the game as well.

I was a student at UGA and later worked for UGA for many years and had the opportunity to be in this stadium MANY times from 1978 until 2007. Since I retired I haven't been much. I would love to give it a 5 star rating simply because it IS Sanford Stadium and a Georgia institution. But this review is to give what I feel is a realistic view of Sanford Stadium.

Remember this stadium was built in 1929. It has had numerous renovations over the years, but it is still on the 1929 "framework." It is important to know when coming to an event at Sanford Stadium that while it is fully in line with all pertinent laws regarding access for disabled persons, it is NOT and ideal venue for persons with mobility issues. It is hard to get around in this stadium even when not completely full, and when at capacity it can be impossible in certain areas (in particular the North side around the student section during football games. The concourse will completely jam up.)

For large events, such as football games, the parking is atrocious. But there is NOTHING UGA can do about that. This is a "landlocked" stadium, there are buildings all around it and very little parking. If you are coming to a large event, arrive really early. Really, really early. And check with UGA for any parking info pertinent to the event you are attending.

As for the food, it is typical stadium fare. The food is provided by whoever has the contract for that year. For football in 2017, it's Dreamland BBQ. It's all pricey and only so-so. Do be aware ALL bottled drinks will have their top removed by the concession workers and you will not be given that top. The reason is to prevent people from using the full bottles to throw off the upper decks/or at other people. When full of liquid than can cause injuries.

That's the reality of Sanford Stadium. And it's faults can be part of it's charm as well! But all that being said, I would say it is a "don't miss" attraction if you are in Athens! The mascots are all buried here and it is interesting to see those graves. As well as the infamous privet hedge "hedges." (If you are thinking about trying to run through the hedge to get on the field, don't. There is a chain link fence running through the middle of the hedge. The hedge is thick and you can't see the fence, but it's there!)

I will always love Sanford Stadium. Just like a member of the family, it might not be perfect, but I love it all the same!!!

No other place better than Sanford Stadium to spend a Saturday watching football! The feeling from the crowd is electric!

Stanford Stadium fits nicely into a natural valley between the North Campus and the South Campus of the University of Georgia. Seating about 93.000 it is the largest stadium in Georgia and one of the largest in the SE. Opened in 1929 with a seating capacity of 30,000 its capacity has progressively increased over the years with the addition of tastefully designed upper decks. Also, over the years concession and bathroom facilities have been upgraded significantly. A special feature of the stadium is the privet hedge which entirely surrounds the playing field. Games are billed as being played "between the hedges" which are an attractive and practical feature since they prevent fans from storming onto the field to celebrate (except once in 2000 when Georgia beat Tennessee).

I'm a Texas Aggie who has been to road games all over the country. Our experience at Georgia ranks among the best. From the economics-major student we talked to on the way to the stadium to the woman who high-fived me and said "good game" on the way out, friendly people made us feel welcome. I have a lot of respect for your fine university.

GO DAWGS!! Hubby and I stopped by on our way out of town to get a few pics!! Beautiful Fall foliage surrounding Stadium.

Love the Dawgs and Sanford Stadium! The game day atmosphere is a great experience for young and old. Traffic is no fun but to be expected.

gameday is the best day!
Sanford holds more than just Dawgs, It holds history and tradition too.
I created "Crowns of Glory" project; Sinkwich, Trippi and Herschel Walker...add in the voice of the Dawgs Larry Munsun and you have the shoulders of Giants that we stand on!
Go Dawgs!!!

Average college stadium but prettier, the iconic hedges add a element of beauty to the states biggest college stadium.

Your bucket list should contain "Attend a UGA home game Between the Hedges." There is nothing like the quake the UGA fans create during a Bulldawg home game. First game of the 2014 has already proven what is yet to come.

Went to the G-Day game 2017. Family and I had a blast. We love being here. We got our Soveigner cups, programs and spent the day among those adorned in Red and Black. Go Dawgs!

By far and away the finest football stadium anywhere. Unless maybe you are a visitor which we have reserved seats for in the "higher up" sections.. Go Dawgs!!

We didn't get to go in but we could feel what the energy level would be on a game day. One day we will go there to see our first college football game!

Me and my family went to G-Day and sat in the bridge side end zone. I love sitting in this section, not a bad set in the whole section.

Fifth largest college stadium in the country. Seats over 86,000. Was in town for business and drove thru the UGA campus, which was beautiful, and to the stadium. Was able to park and walk around, take some pictures. The thing I really liked, was that it felt like the stadium was a natural part of the campus and landscape. Was really cool to see, especially if you're a sports/college football fan. Would love to take in a game there sometime.

Always a great venue for college football. If you are anywhere in Athens, it's easy to get to the stadium. Go Cocks!

Greatest Football Stadium in the SEC
Easy to get around - great concessions, and lots of Red and Black.
All located in the charming Southern town of Athens Georgia-

this is a kind of temple of sport for UGA and all peoples living in Athens. Great place I suggest visit especially to view the match !

Easily accessible, great view on the bridge over the North end zone. Nice to see it empty for a unique perspective, although it is awesome on game day, the 93,000 make it hard to wander around. Bookstore is especially great during off season, you can look and breathe and shop. Bookstore is mobbed on game day!! A UGA fan shrine!

OK I am a bias - I am a Georgia alum and season ticket holder. I have been to games all over the US - including many SEC schools, Pac12 and Mountain West. Sanford Stadium rocks - from where it sits on campus, to the atmosphere on game day to the night games. If you are a college football fan - it has to be on your bucket list.

Went to my first American football live game.....as a television follower in Britain ....I was amazed to find 92,000 in the stadium watching a college game...atmosphere electric.....superb stadium....take a hat as there is little escape from the searing heat....Alan umbrella for a sun shade even better....great afternoon thoroughly enjoyed it.....

Went during May when school was out and there was no one around. Still worth your while to check out this stadium. It is an icon in the region and for good reason. Now just to go back where there are players on the field...

Came to see the Dawgs play Nicholls State - closer game than I expected. UGA won 26-24. Nice stadium - but there is NO parking - NONE!

I grew up going to football games at UGA and even went to college there my last 2 years. One really has to go to a football game there to experience the palpable energy. The crowds and parking are a bit of a hassle but that is really a part of the whole feel. Even if you can't go to the game, you can stand on the bridge and look over it to see the hedges. Very well maintained. The bookstore is also a must with very unique UGA souvenirs.

The stadium is ever improving. The new Jumbotron is terrific. Bathrooms are well placed and laid out. Nothing like being between the hedges!

92,746 Total seats. 92,745 wearing red and black and barking like a dog. what more needs to be said.

GO DAWGS!!!!

If you are into college football this is on the short list of top ....whatever. I'm in the camp that it's setting, size, and Vibe gets it into top 5 status of my visits. The whole UGA mascot thing is awesome. Great spot

Best damn football and tailgate experience in the South. GO DAWGS...Theres no finer place in the south to take in a ballgame

Wifi is spotty and with all the cell phones trying to post/text/update it gets worse! Bathrooms aren't the best. Food lines are long (but they would be for 90k plus fans) trying to get a drink and a hotdog! Cost for food/drinks is on par with the rest of the sports world...but the hotdog quality could be better for the price. Also, if you don't have a "stadium seatback" you run the risk of not being able to fit into your seat. Seatbacks define "YOUR" seat and you know just exactly how much space you have (also...they have a back to lean on) The seats aren't seats as much as long benches and not defined without the seatback. The guy next to us, sold 2 of his tickets every game and there were a couple of people who really spread out when they sat down....without the seatback, you squeeze in and can't move! Games are what they are. Win or lose, you are either part of the Dawg Nation or you aren't! We can tell those that aren't! The stadium is in the top 10 for size in the country and it's got a lot to offer for fans! GO Dawgs!

Fabulous experience with friends for a Georgia Bulldogs football game. The staff were friendly, but they have a very limited menu.

The stadium is huge and the supporters make you feel right at home. Very friendly and kind people it was a pleasure

First time here and I actually loved it.. so live and loud. Everyone had a good time. Alot of security and event staff. Very accommodating.

Went for the South Carolina game ,sat in section. 101. Nice stadium clean bathrooms lots of room for a sell out crowd. Lots of choices for concessions

We made a roadtrip to Athens to see the campus and stadium. It is certainly placed in the middle of the beautiful UGA campus. I can't imagine how congested traffic must be on gameday! The bus system, though, helps with traffic control A beautiful old stadium in the heart os SEC country.

Great atmosphere and speakers. Modern stadium with plenty of vendors around the stadium. If it's an SEC game beware of the traffic.

Going to a game here is amazing! Love the vibe and crowd. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Hard not to get swept up in the Dawg fandom no matter what team your hail from.

great fun, amazing stadium, excellent security, well-planned areas, plenty of bathrooms. Always great to enjoy a football game with 93,000 friends!

I attended the Clemson-UGA football game. I am a Clemson fan and the UGA fans were very friendly. Sanford Stadium is awesome. Great traditions and a proud fanbase. It is a must see/visit for any college football fan. Parking is a challenge, we paid $20 to park on Baxter street and walked a decent bit, but got out easily.

Best stadium in the South to see a football. Been going a long time and not a bad seat in the house.(unless you are on the losing teams bench!)

Watching a game between the hedges is an experience every football fan should experience. A beautiful stadium. GA fans are an exciting group and that excitement carries though out the stadium. Go for a spectacular fall Saturday you'll remember for a while.

Went to Sanford for the first time for the UGA-Mizzou game in October and had a blast. It is certainly quite an experience to see football played between the hedges. We sat in the upper deck, which was not a bad view at all. Only complaint is the lack of more concessions- lines were quite long on the upper concourse, so we had to walk down to the ground level to get food. Very friendly atmosphere!

For the faithful, this place is a little bit of heaven. If not for the extreme inconvenience of too few concession stands and restrooms, this would be a higher rating. But those long lines really do ruin a good day. Parking is at your own devices and seats are very narrow and uncomfortable. So why do I love it? It's Sanford Stadium!!!

Great stadium to enjoy a college football game! Affordable pricing for food. Friendly fans and an excellent location.
