About Sanford Stadium
Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium is the on-campus playing venue for football at the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia, United States. The 93,033-seat stadium is the ninth-largest American football stadium in the NCAA, and the 15th-largest such stadium in the world. Games played there are said to be played "between the hedges" due to the field being surrounded by privet hedges, which have been a part of the design of the stadium since it opened in 1929. The current generation of hedges were planted in 2024 after the originals were taken out to accommodate the soccer tournaments for the 1996 Summer Olympics. The stadium is often considered one of college football's "best, loudest, and most intimidating atmospheres".
