With ticket demand out the roof along with the right to get those tickets, I say we need to expand. My wife and I actually gave above and beyond what we normally do and still did not meet the cutoff for away tickets.

Sanford is plenty loud when it needs to be, so that’s not really a concern to me.

I’d hope that the UGAA would address the concourse/gate issues as well as Stegeman work before worrying about a huge Sanford expansion.

Ideally, they’d end up bringing the Tech Deck around. I know they engineered it so it could be added on to. The biggest reason you don’t mess with the west end is because it’s one of the things that makes Sanford unique.

Sanford Stadium is my like my personal home - I have been going to games there since BEFORE the double decking for the 1967 season.

Stadiums that are completely closed off like UT keep the noise in, but you can only see the stadium when you are inside it!

To increase seating but keep the endzone open, we could raise the west side bridge 10-15 feet, and also widen it into a plaza. In conjunction with that, we could raise the endzone seats to the level of the bridge (plaza).

That may only give us an extra thousand or so seats, but it would help a little and perhaps give us less fan congestion on the bridge, and keep the endzone open.

A) I think they should expand simply to close off the stadium and help keep noise in.

B) For me, it is not the view out, but that as an Athens resident and UGA alumni, I love that I can drive over to campus any day and look into the stadium

So I’d like to see them close it off, but leave a “viewing window” so to speak that still allows you to see in.

Just my 2 cents
