UGA announces attendance policies and date for 2021 G-Day spring game

UGA announces Georgia football’s 2021 G-Day date as well as all attendance and COVID-19 policies that will be in place for the scrimmage.

Georgia fans will get their first look at the new breed of incoming Bulldogs on April 17 during the beloved G-Day spring football game. Time of kickoff and broadcasting information has not yet been released by the university.

This will be the second G-Day game that takes place during the COVID-19 era, and many of last year’s safety precautions will still be in play.

Sanford Stadium will be allowing 20-25 percent capacity into the game just like last year’s spring game and this past football season.  Tickets will go up for request digitally on March 1 for $10 a pop, and all proceeds will be donated to charity.

This year ticket sales will be offered to all 2020/2021 Hartman Fund donors.  The Hartman Fund helps provide financial support to UGA student-athletes for a number of different resources to help establish a strong foundation for success in life beyond their playing days in Athens.

Here is the breakdown of the 2021 G-Day ticket priority access:

1st priority: 2020 Hartman Fund donors who were only given tickets for the 2020 Vanderbilt game, which was cancelled due to COVID-19 precautions. Magill Society members are also included in this first priority group.

2nd priority: 2020 Hartman Fund donors who converted any amount of their remaining balance toward the COVID-19 UGA Athletics Fund.

3rd priority: All remaining 2020/2021 Hartman Fund donors.

4th priority: UGA Faculty, Staff and Students.  Certain individuals will receive an email from the Athletic Association Ticket Office with the possibility to request tickets.

5th priority: The general public will have access to any remaining tickets on Monday, March 15.

Campus parking lots will open and be available to G-Day ticket holders three hours prior to kickoff.  Sanford’s gates will open two hours before kickoff.

These lots will be accessible by special permit only:

• Tate Center Deck and surface lot

• Clark Howell parking lot

• Sanford Drive and Field Street

• Lower East Campus Road lot

Handicapped parking will be available in the Tate Center Parking Deck and East Campus Road lot with a valid handicap parking permit and G-Day game ticket.

No tailgating will be allowed for the 2021 G-Day game.

All fans in attendance will be required to wear a face mask when entering and walking around the stadium. They may be taken off when seated, socially distanced of course. Hand sanitation stations will be located  throughout the whole stadium. Sanitation crews will also be present to regularly clean bathrooms and concession stands.
