2003 where the seats are 1/2 mile from field level, they should have closed in the stadium by wrapping the 300 level around


Is there even enough room to do that without taking over the roadway?

Been to 250+ games with around 18% in other stadiums. If OP thinks the atmosphere was lacking Saturday it was bc his Ole Miss got destroyed and their pep band didn’t get to play much. Our band was great, on field activities great, interaction with fans is great, team was great. Our goal wasn’t to entertain you.


Amen...

For me, I'm fine with everything the way it is.
The trumpet solo.
The Larry Munson rendition.
The hedges.
The Ugga dog house.
The Georgia-Bulldogs chant from each sideline.
The kickoff boom.
The Georgia train song.
Ringing the bell during my walk home.

Oh, and not losing a game at Sanford Stadium since 2019.

Forgot about the over-time game.

I was very underwhelmed by Sanford Stadium. There are several Sun Belt schools that offer a better venue. I would even say Kentucky's Kroger Field is a nicer spot to watch a game.

Georgia fills their stadium and makes noise. Something that Ole Miss seldom does

The bridge view is very over rated. I would rather have upgraded video board and more seats behind that end zone than a view looking into or out of the stadium


I would politely say F off. I love that there is a view onto the field, especially at night when there isn't even a game. But moreso, I love the view looking out over the campus, especially a late Fall afternoon. It just brings a connection to the stadium and the campus that is pretty lacking at most big CFB stadiums.
If you want to update sound, fine. But stop trying to make it just another generic erector set stadium with a faux Neoclassical or Georgian facade.

Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and A&M all have stadiums that look nothing like the others.


The only one these that is at all particularly unique in Umich with giant bowl that has relatively low elevation overall. All the other are giant erector sets with facades.

Not to mention a big dance number the whole sideline can vibe to when UGA is up big after the superman fanfare starting the 4th quarter. Started with Auburn Blackout and has been a favorite tradition since.

I did laugh when the CBS intro of UGA-Missou caught Drinkwitz absolutely bopping to Baba O' Riley

The video board is fine. The sound system needs to be completely re-vamped. Right now, they’re relying FAR too much on the massive speakers in the scoreboard itself to boom the sound through the stadium. The result is intolerably loud music levels when you’re sitting in the west end of the stadium.


Completely agree. I didn’t interpret op as a troll and it’s fair to say we could use some upgrades in the video/sound situation. It’s clearly not priority at the moment but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of investment in upgrades within the next 3 years.

There is no reason for Georgia to take advice from anything even remotely related to Ole Miss football. None.

You should have taken notes, and learned something.

You didn't, and thus YAOM.

Truth.

Georgia's stadium experience the last three seasons has been all a Georgia fan could ask for, even in opposing teams stadiums.

Been plenty of places, but Athens on a fall weekend is pretty close to Heaven these days.
