ATHENS, Ga. --- The University of Georgia Athletic Association will be incorporating several enhancements to the fans' gameday experience at Sanford Stadium beginning with this Saturday's home opener against Buffalo. Fans will notice several new concessions partners and increased stadium coverage by vendors as well as credit and debit card capabilities.
Papa John's Pizza, Chick-fil-A and Herschel's Famous 34 hot dogs and hamburgers will join the concessions lineup that already includes Subway and Sonny's BBQ. Papa John's Pizza will offer pepperoni and cheese pizzas and be available in over half of the permanent concessions stands located on all levels of Sanford Stadium. Chick-fil-A will be selling their chicken sandwiches, chips and bottled beverages from their locations near Gates 2 and 7. Herschel's Famous 34 hot dogs will be offered at all permanent concessions stands while the hamburgers will sold from locations in the Gate 6 and Reed Plazas.
Vendor staffing has been increased by over 20% and over 40% of the new vendors will be dedicated to hot dog sales. Being able to make more product available in the stands will allow fans to watch more of the game from their seats and alleviate congestion on the concourse and time in lines at the permanent stands. Also, credit and debit card capabilities at the permanent concessions stands have been increased by almost 20% to accommodate this growing preferred payment option.
