Georgia is also installing large fans from the company Big arse Fans — 62 fans in all, some 6.6 feet in diameter and others 10 feet across — in many spots on the 100 level.

While some of this summer’s projects at Sanford Stadium are all about aesthetics, like a deep, deep cleaning of the facility’s exterior that will begin this week and cleaning every seat in the house, most at their core are about improving the fan experience.

Simply put, Robinson said, Georgia is working toward a “nicer” stadium. It will be nicer this season than last season, and with more upgrades in the offseason, nicer in 2016 than this fall.


quote:

In the past, our debit and credit card availability was at all the permanent concession stands, but it was at maybe 60 percent of the actual registers,” said John Bateman, Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing. “Now, every point-of-sale terminal is going to have debit and credit card availability.”

our souvenir stands were converted before last season and three more will be for this season.

God, please dress up the concrete skeleton on the North Side. And if at all possible, expand the 300 level concourses.

Apparently they were going for the Chemistry building look on the north end. They need to wrap it up with a nice brick facade... Make it blend in with the rest of campus.

Eta: they need to dress up the east side as well.

The menus at the concessions stands are also getting a hard look and items that haven’t moved in recent seasons may be removed.




Please replace some of the stands with The Varsity or full-service Chick fil-a or something Georgian.

This. The whole 600 level addition is beginning to look like an unfinished project. They need to clean up the facade and figure out what to do with East Campus Rd. I doubt they'll ever expand the 600 level around the East endzone so do something to clean up that corridor and either invest in a major stadium project that will tunnel ECR under the stadium or at least spruce up that area. A nice brick wall on the track side of the road with a plaque commemorating the Track People/Erk's 1980 Letter would be cool.

I wonder if they will get them to paint the ends red instead of their yellow.

Nothing says Georgia like a lukewarm Red Baron personal pizza.

They could buy a whole new stadium if they'd put a single Waffle House at the top of the Student Section.

You're welcome, UGAAA employee that uses this hell hole for ideas.

Disappointed.

I thought you were saying that they were widening the seats to better fit today's enormous asses.

I guess I still can't bring my Big Momma to a game.
