Athens sports market at a glance

Sanford Stadium seats 92,746, one of the larger venues in the NCAAF. Higher seat counts generally mean a deeper resale market and more options at each price point, which benefits buyers looking for deals.

Game-day guide: Sanford Stadium

Sanford Stadium — Georgia Bulldogs Football (NCAAF)

Sanford Stadium (92,746 seats) is a large open-air stadium in University of Georgia campus that hosts Georgia Bulldogs Football (NCAAF) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Campus decks and lots open on game day with donor and permit priority; downtown Athens lots and remote shuttle lots serve general parking. Athens Transit and UGA campus buses run on game day; the stadium sits beside downtown Athens within walking distance of the bars and restaurants.
