Sanford Stadium

Sanford Stadium is a football stadium on the University of Georgia's campus in Athens, Georgia, United States (also known as UGA).

The 92,746-seat stadium is the ninth-largest in the United States and the fourteenth-largest in the world, according to our list.

Unlike most stadiums, Sanford Stadium has maintained having a natural grass field since its inception.

On September 21, 2019, the stadium's seating capacity was temporarily increased to 93,246 for the Notre Dame Game.

Dr. Steadman Vincent Sanford, an early significant mover behind UGA athletics, is honored with the stadium's name.

Sanford began teaching English at the University of Georgia in 1903. Later, he served on the athletics committee as a faculty representative before becoming president of the university and Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. In 1911, he relocated the university's football stadium from its original location, Herty Field, to a new location in the heart of campus, which he named Sanford Field.
