Legends of the Gridiron America's Most Iconic Stadiums State by State

10. Georgia – Sanford Stadium (Capacity: 92,746)

Sanford Stadium in Athens stands as a shrine to the University of Georgia’s Bulldog spirit, hosting 92,746 fans in a storied SEC environment. Built in 1929, the stadium has grown to be one of college football’s largest, renowned for its signature hedges bordering the field—planted to resemble the rose hedges of the early Rose Bowl. This charming detail earned the home turf the nickname “Between the Hedges.” Game days begin with bustling tailgates across the campus’s rolling hills, while the Redcoat Band and a sea of red-and-black create a unifying fervor. With national championships and Heisman-caliber talents gracing its stage, Sanford has hosted countless iconic moments. Recent renovations introduced expanded seating and updated amenities, yet the stadium’s historic essence remains.
