With a $25 million expansion completed in 2003 and another $8 million in 2004, Sanford Stadium added a second upper deck on the north side and 27 new north side SkySuites bringing the new stadium capacity to 92,746–the fifth largest on-campus stadium in the country.

Named for the late Dr. S. V. Sanford, former president of the University and Chancellor of the University system, Georgia’s Sanford Stadium celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2004. An overflow crowd of 30,000 saw the stadium’s first game on October 12, 1929, when Yale University made its only trip South. Georgia won the now famous game when a young sophomore end from Macon, Vernon “Catfish” Smith, scored all 15 of the Bulldogs’ points. Final score, Georgia 15, Yale 0.
