25 best college football stadiums to watch a college football game

18. Sanford Stadium, Georgia

Sanford Stadium is one that the University of Georgia has meticulously edited over the years to make it the perfect scene for one of college football’s most exciting fanbases. If you are one of the 92,000 people who get to catch a Bulldogs night game, seeing the sunset over the rolling hills on the west side of the stadium, then you know what this stadium provides in terms of ambiance.

The most interesting part about Sanford Stadium is the hedges. Yes, hedges. The field is surrounded by 5,000 square feet of Chinese privet hedges. It’s just something that makes football in the South interesting. There seems to be a connection between greenery and football here. It’s one of the most unique on-field attractions in college football. Those shrubs were planted in 1929 and they survived movement for renovations and the Olympics, and also a parasitic nematode in the 90s.

The funny thing about Sanford Stadium is it was created to rival Georgia Tech’s stadium. Before Sanford was built, they had to play all of their rivalry games at Grant Field. Now, close to 100 years later, the Bulldogs are one of the premier programs in college football and the Yellow Jackets are still trying to build something of this program.

Sanford Stadium is one of the few stadiums that also doubles as a burial ground. The remains of every Uga mascot are there to be visited by Georgia fans every game.
