What can I say, gotta love Sanford Stadium!! This is one of those venues where people seem just genuinely happy to be there. Concessions are ok. Parking is a pain, but probably no worse than any other college football stadium. The reason I couldn’t give 5 stars….the aftermath. Getting out of there is atrocious. And it’s not clearly marked where to catch the shuttles either. Other than that, solid experience. GO DAWGS!!!

GO DAWGS!!! I love this place! I love the bugle at the beginning and the red coat band at halftime! The excitement of the music and the fireworks and the lights and the team running out on the field! Everybody should be between the hedges at least once in their lifetime.love the new seat back design, too. The mesh was way cooler than the previous vinyl coverings.

Watching on tv is one thing. Being there and living it is simply amazing. Great organization to enter and exit, fast and easy. The vibe and the adrenaline is crazy in the field. Love it.

Came as a fan of the opposing team. Fans were all nice. Of course you have some students that are obnoxious. But overall great interactions with the home fans. Concession prices are very reasonable and there were hydration stations for water fill-ups. I really appreciated being able to affordably eat inside the stadium. We couldn’t really watch anything on the (1) video board and there was distortion in the audio system. We had 600 level seats. The fireworks and light up wristbands were cool, though. Post game traffic and exiting was horrible. This town and area is not meant to host 100,000+ people. We had a parking pass for the Hull Street deck. I arrived to my car at approximately 11:39pm, pulled out and got in line to leave. We then proceeded to sit in our car for an hour and a half and finally was able to exit the parking lot well after 1am. Unacceptable. Very cool venue. I enjoyed the SEC Road environment despite a subpar technology and parking experience.

Beautiful campus and great experience at the game. The concession prices were comparable to a local high school football game. Every seat in the stadium seemed to have a good view of the game!

Always love the atmosphere here! Great place. Love Georgia culture! I would give it 5 stars for all of these reasons, but I really feel like they could make the concessions a little bit cheaper. It's just hard for a family man to try to provide this experience for his children with prices so high. Anyway, Go Dawgs!
