The University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium is known across the nation as one of the most aesthetically pleasing venues in all of college football. Designed by the MIT-trained architect Thomas Atwood, the mind also responsible for designing North Carolina’s Keenan Stadium which possesses a similar feel, Sanford Stadium was built with its beautiful surrounding views in mind.
Since its first game in 1929, the on-campus stadium’s west end zone has remained open, providing fans inside the stadium with views of the scenic surrounding campus, and for fans outside the stadium, a glimpse into the action. Furthermore, the open west end zone adds a certain connection with the University that one can only understand and appreciate firsthand.
