UGA fans gear up for changes at Sanford Stadium

Fans of the University of Georgia football team making the trip to Sanford Stadium tomorrow will need to be prepared for some business “not as usual.”

With the ongoing construction of the $63M rennovations to the West End Zone, the way fans enter and exit will certainly break them from their normal routine. In addition, what fans can bring in the stadium and how they do it has a new policy.

Below is an email sent to UGA faculty and students informing them of key changes and tips how to navigate them:

To: UGA Faculty, Staff and Students

From: UGA Athletic Association

Date: August 30, 2017

Subject: Sanford Stadium West End Zone Construction 

Because of the construction in the West End Zone at Sanford Stadium, there will be some adjustments this year to game day logistics. We want to notify you of these changes prior to the first home game this Saturday. Gates 1, 10, and the Main Gate all have been reconfigured into one larger gate spanning from the edge of the Tate Center to the fence at Tanyard Creek. This larger gate will allow the space needed to queue for entrance into Sanford Stadium.

We are providing maps to assist you as you consider your access to the stadium. These maps outline the construction zone and recommend entrance gates by seating location.

There is another significant change of which we want to make you aware: the Southeastern Conference has implemented a clear bag policy, and more information regarding this policy can be found here: Clear Bag Policy

We also want to take this opportunity to share our GameDay Central website, which provides all pertinent information for home football games. GameDay Central

Please feel free to contact us at facilitysupport@sports.uga.edu if you have questions regarding the game day experience.

We hope to see you Saturday, and Go Dawgs!
