Sanford Stadium
Athens, GA

Sanford Stadium is home to the University Georgia Bulldogs, however, fans from around the world may not know that it is a football stadium.  How could this be you ask?  Sanford Stadium played host to the 1996 Olympic Games for the medal round of the finals in soccer which was watched by over 3 billion people worldwide.  But for those who are passionate about their football in Athens (Georgia that is) Sanford is home to one of the most exciting stadiums in college football.  With its 92,746 seats filled to capacity every game, the fifth largest on campus stadium in the country provides a comforting environment for the Bulldogs and a frightening experience for first time visitors. 

 

Perhaps the trademark of the stadium are its two most recognizable features.  Its not any man made feature either.  Sanford Field’s famous hedges surrounding the field and their mascot Uga, a white bulldog.  The enormous home field advantage has not come cheap over the years, with an estimated $71 million price tag over the years.  The improvements are definitely worth the price as Sanford Stadium has finished in the top 7 in attendance 21 of the past 24 years.  With the continued success of the Bulldogs over the past few years, as well as a schedule that is consistently filled with national contenders, these attendance figures show no sign of letting up.
