Georgia football’s new capacity for Sanford Stadium

The University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium underwent some major stadium renovations during the 2024 offseason. Sanford Stadium, which used to hold 92,746 fans, will now have a capacity of 93,033 according to Georgia’s media guide.

Georgia’s slight capacity increase does not change where Sanford Stadium ranks among the largest stadiums in the SEC. Sanford Stadium is still the sixth-largest stadium in the SEC and the ninth-largest stadium in the nation.

Georgia fans will now need to say they are spending their Saturday with 93,033 of their closest friends. All of the shirts that said 92,746 of your closest friends are officially out of date. However, Georgia did end the era of having a 92,746 capacity stadium with a 25-game home winning streak, so that’s something Bulldog fans can hang their hats on.

Georgia first home game with of the 2024 season against Tennessee Tech will not set an attendance record for Sanford Stadium. The Dawgs’ hosted 93,246 fans during the 2019 Notre Dame game, which is Georgia’s current attendance record.
