UGA says Sanford Stadium work on budget, on time

UGA is targeting this fall to complete the Sanford Stadium south-side construction project -- UGA Athletic Association (designer) Univ. of Georgia

Georgia AD Josh Brooks said yesterday that Sanford Stadium’s south-side construction project is "on budget and is expected to be completed on time before this fall." Brooks revealed that the new donor area, which is taking over the club-level space previously occupied by the Dan Magill Press Box, will be called the "1929 Club" in "recognition of the year the stadium was first opened." Interest from season-ticket holders to meet donations requirements to qualify for seating in the new space reportedly has "resulted in increased revenue for the football program." A new press box is "being built in a tower addition" in the southwest corner of the stadium. That’s Phase II of a $68.5M improvement project that began in 2022. UGA is also "in the process of getting a refrigeration upgrade" to " support alcohol sales at the stadium this fall." Cost figures for that "were not immediately available" ( ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 5/20 ).
