The Bulldogs will now spend the night before games on campus at the UGA Hotel and Conference Center at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, just down the road from Sanford Stadium.

The time Georgia players had to spend on bus rides last season was an issue voiced to the media by defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt last November, but it was overshadowed by the message he was sending at the time about the urgency he felt for the need for an indoor practice facility to be built that the team could use.

Georgia also will fly out of Athens for road games this season instead of taking buses to Atlanta since runway work will be completed at Athens-Ben Epps Airport. Delta Airlines is making two Boeing 717s available for team use.

“We’re going to play 12 games and for those 12 games our kids are going to ride on a bus for 34 hours,” Pruitt said last season. “There’s 34 hours where you’re sitting on a bus. At the other places I’ve been at, the same schedule, you spend two hours on a bus. That’s a whole day and a half sitting on a bus.”
