As Georgia prepares for a major winter storm, football fans will gather in Athens today to celebrate their national champ Bulldogs. The team’s big win on January 10 against Alabama’s Crimson Tide handed the Bulldogs their first national title since 1981.
The University of Georgia will celebrate the Bulldogs’ 2021 National Championship in a ceremony at Sanford Stadium. Gates open at Noon. A parade down Lumpkin Street to Sanford Stadium will start at 12:30 with a Dawg Walk at 1 p.m., and a formal program beginning at 2 p.m.
The stadium celebration is a ticketed event. Complimentary tickets were issued via online request through Friday.
According to the Georgia Football website, all regular gameday procedures will be followed with campus opening up to visitors on Saturday at 7 a.m.
Gov. Brian Kemp declared January 15 as “Georgia Bulldogs National Championship Saturday” in celebration of the football team’s victory. Read Kemp’s resolution here.
Athens-Clarke County is under a Winter Weather Advisory. If you’re traveling to the Classic City for the celebration, please plan accordingly.
