About Sanford Stadium

Sanford Stadium

Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia offers one of college football's most distinctive experiences, where games are famously played "between the hedges" thanks to the privet hedges that have ringed the field since 1929. As the ninth-largest stadium in NCAA football with a capacity exceeding 93,000, this venue delivers an electrifying atmosphere that rivals consider among the sport's loudest and most intimidating. Whether you're a Georgia Bulldogs fan or simply a lover of American sports culture, witnessing a game day at this historic stadium provides an unforgettable glimpse into the passion of Southeastern college football.
