UGA fans, any plans to upgrade the sound system and/or video boards?

I know y'all let the play on the field do all the entertaining, but I think it is time for a major upgrade in your guys stadium 'experience".

A little lacking if I may say so myself.

Games would be a lot better if stadiums ripped most of that crap out.

I agree actually, Sanford is middle of the pack in terms of stadium/fan experience. I know uga is #1 on the field etc etc

That's fair.

We can't all be Vaught Hemingway.

What did Kiffin say in his post-game press conference?
He lost because he needs to recruit better?
He doesn't have the athletes that UGA has?
He doesn't highlight the home game experience to recruits enough? Because if they paid attention, they would see the best GameDay atmosphere is Vaught-Hemingway Stadium?

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Good luck holding on to your head coach as he looks for why his recruiting isn't on par in Oxford, Mississippi

No.
We aren't looking to change the lights and video board.

The new recruiting lounge at the west end zone is doing business.

Been said before but it's hard to make it much bigger without blocking the bridge. That's not gonna happen.

Speakers could probably stand an upgrade

I'd update the sound system first. You can only hear sound coming from the videoboard side. You guys need that surround sound.

I've been to 3 games in Oxford and I don't see one thing vaught does better than sanford. Just saying.

Our video screen is perfectly fine. You are correct that the sound was jacked up on Saturday but that's a simple error somewhere that I'm sure is easily correctable. Many UGA fans have minor complaints about ticky tack stuff liek wishing we'd show better replays or beign better about the out of town scoreboard, etc. But i mean the stadium and big picture stuff within it is perfectly fine for a college venue. Especially since we don't have any trouble putting butts in the seats.

What Ole Miss has done in 2023 for game entertainment is light years ahead of where it was past seasons.

Georgia admin needs to bring a notepad and pen next year when you guys come to Oxford.

Neat, I think we’ll continue to focus on winning football games and not on ‘game entertainment.’

Wow, that's almost exactly what your wife said to me about you last night. But uh, don't worry bro, I think she'll be, ...satisfied...for a pretty looooong while now.

I don’t really see what incentive UGA would have to spend money on that at the moment.

You are gonna take some heat but you ain't wrong. The experience is far better than it used to be, about the time Mark Richt was hired it was lousy and had been since the 1970s. The crowd is fantastic now but it used to be a social gathering where a football game broke out.

I have spent many hours in every section of Sanford Stadium and like most college stadiums the stadium experience itself is not great. Horrible seats (good site lines though in most sections) and getting in and out if a nightmare at times. The tailgating is not what it used to be either but the in game crowd is infinitely better so thats a wash. I wish they'd lower the seating capacity by about 20,000 seats and put actual seats in the thing but it will never happen. NFL stadiums are souless but most college stadiums are just bigger more uncomfortable high school stadiums...and Sanford is kind of one of them...

Agreed that Sanford needs a facelift. The top tier of SEC stadiums currently is A&M, LSU, and Alabama in my opinion. Those are the nicest by a decent margin.
