We were thrilled, of course, to see our child graduate at Sanford Stadium. But prepare yourself for some varsity-level stair climbing! I was running back and forth to get pictures, and I definitely had a major league workout by the time it was all through. More

...then this is the place for you. Game weekends in Athens are packed, so come prepared for fun, food, people, and adult beverages. I'm to the age that crowds lack the appeal they had when I was a youth, but the experience of watching a game in Sanford wonk't soon be forgotten. More

Best atmosphere ever! Sit on the South end to avoid some sun exposure/get to sit in the shade for part of the game! More

Too much ! thousands of people crammed into a stadium that is so high it blocks out the sun from the Memorial Hall and several dorms. More

I have been coming to Sanford for 20 years and it continues to grow. I think that this is one of the best stadiums in all of football. More

Great fun and easy to get in and out of. The parking deck was a mess after the meet. It took forever to get out of. I would suggest to find a different place to park. More
