For those going to Athens, what are your plans?

...Are UGA fans going to dump cups of warm urine or throw D size lead acid batteries and then not man up when confronted?


Kidding but not really kidding, I have tickets I'd like to sell but I may end up using them.

Yeah I mean I started the thread in sincere hopes of giving good advice and helping but I guess nobody is interested.

I will be there. Staying at a friend's house on Lake Hartwell Friday night and driving into town Saturday morning. My friend's GF is in grad school at UGA and always parks at Founders Hall (believe that's what he called it). If that's a parking option, how early would we need to arrive in order to get a spot and what is that proximity to the stadium?

Then game. Then... VICTORY CELEBRATION.

I haven't been to Athens at all in quite a while. A buddy of mine from HS went to UGA, and we traded road trips every season we were in school, but that was from '03-'06, so I never witnessed a USC victory and had to hang out with my drunk buddy talking shite. Vowed not to go to any more UGA/USC games (not cos of any issues, just hated seeing us lose), and since then we're 4-2 against UGA. So, I don't go anymore

Now that's being a fan, when you know you're the jinx and you keep away from your team. Very noble of you Royal.

As an extension, when I was in school I went to two USC/Clemson football games, three basketball games, and two baseball games - all home and away. We never won ONE of them. Haven't seen us play the Men of Paws since.

You're all welcome.

Double-checking now.

I know where she's talking about. There's a mid sized parking lot where Baldwin dead ends into lumpkin. I've never tailgated over there myself but people set up in the grass by the street and it usually looks like it's pretty full. You are north (NW really) of the stadium, so you'll walk down hill to the game and up after.


I am the worst photoshopper ever but here's a map. The lot I think she's talking about is circled in the top left. Lumpkin is the main street going vertical and Baldwin is running horizontal and dead ends in front of that lot. The stadium is in the bottom right of the picture. Going into the game, assuming you're in a SC section, I would advise taking baldwin to the first light which is sanford, then hanging a right and walking down to the stadium. That'll give you the atmosphere of the bridge which is usually pretty awesome close to kickoff, plus the SC section will be the closest to you if you go that route. Or, you could walk straight down Lumpkin to the bottom of the hill which is where the dawgwalk takes place, if you're so inclined. I think it's like 1:45 before kickoff..since you'll be so close you could go then go back and tailgate. There's no scale on the map, but that lot and the stadium are very close together, as is the dawgwalk. You wouldn't have to walk more than 5 minutes at a leisurely pace to get to either.

Looks like he's parking next to the BCM. I tailgated there last year for the ole miss game and it is an absolute primo spot. Easy walk to the game and good shade from the trees.
