GAMEDAY TRAFFIC INFORMATION Area Directions

PREGAME TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT On gameday, some roads surrounding Athens — most notably SR 316 — become overcrowded because of the large number of vehicles headed to the game from the Atlanta-area. We want to remind you that there are many other ways to enter Athens, including US 129, US 29, US 441, SR 15 and US 78. While these routes may seem a few miles out of your way, they may save you signifi cant time and less traffi c congestion.

We’ve all seen it — one car, surrounded by a grill, seven chairs and three coolers, fi lling four parking spaces while you drive in circles. This type of parking forces others farther away from the stadium. Additional parking hazards are created when cars are parked on sidewalks or landscaped areas, pushing fans into the street and creating safety issues and traffi c jams. Rest assured, there are enough spaces for everyone on campus for gameday. All public access parking on campus is fi rst come, fi rst served, which means no saving places for friends. Please visit www.gameday.uga.edu for campus parking maps.

BRING TRASH BAGS Following games, students and local residents are left to face the aftermath of the previous day’s festivities. On an average gameday, more than 39 tons of garbage are collected from the campus. That number can swell to more than 100 tons after a night game! Many fans leave town after the game unaware of the effort involved in restoring the campus and community to its picturesque state. To help control this, there are hundreds of trash receptacles placed in heavy-traffi c areas around the campus. We ask that you please bag your trash and either take it with you or leave it at your tailgating area. The UGA clean-up crew will gladly remove it for you. Placing trash in bags makes the postgame cleanup faster and more effective.

UGA The Mascot Legacy

UGA I UGA II UGA III UGA IV UGA V

n the last 100 years of intercollegiate football, Georgia’s Uga has established himself as the nation’s most well-known mascot. The line of pure white English bulldogs, which epitomizes everything Georgia, has Ibeen owned by the Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler family of Savannah, Georgia, since Uga I fi rst graced the campus in 1956. Through the years, Uga has been defi ned by his spiked collar, a symbol of the position in which he holds. He was given his name, an abbreviation for the university, by William Young of Columbus, a law school classmate of Seiler. Each of the Uga mascots is awarded a varsity letter in the form of a plaque, identical to those presented to all Bulldog athletes who letter in their respective sports. As determined and published by the Pittsburgh Press, the Univer sity of Georgia is the only major college that actually buries its mascots within the confi nes of the stadium. Ugas I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII are buried in marble vaults near the main gate in the embankment of the South stands. Epitaphs to the dogs are inscribed in bronze, and before each home game, fl owers are placed on their graves. The memorial plot attracts hundreds of fans and visitors each year. For the past 20 years, Uga’s jerseys have been custom-made at the beginning of each season from the same material used for the players’ jerseys. Old jerseys are destroyed. Uga’s on-fi eld home is a permanent air conditioned doghouse located next to the cheerleader’s platform, providing comfort in the heat of August and September. The custom-made doghouse is a gift from the Bahamian Bulldog Club of Nassau, Bahamas, through the courtesy of Fred Hazlewood.

DR. STEADMAN V. SANFORD Born Aug. 20, 1871, Dr. Steadman Vincent Sanford joined the Georgia faculty in 1903 and instantly became one of the University’s most popular people. He founded the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism in 1921, served as University Dean from 1927-32, and held the post of University president and chancellor until 1935 when he was named chancellor of the entire University System of Georgia. He also held the position of faculty chairman of athletics while on the UGA faculty. He was the force behind the construction of Sanford Stadium in 1929 and was termed many times as “the best friend of athletics.” He was largely responsible for persuading the Bulldogs of Yale to make their fi rst trip south of the Mason-Dixon line to play the dedication game of Sanford Stadium in 1929.
