Georgia football podcast: UGA’s making a significant accomplishment look easier than it actually is
Georgia football is the No. 1 topic every day on DawgNation Daily — the daily podcast for fans of the national champion Georgia Bulldogs. Catch up on everything happening with UGA athletics with host Brandon Adams and the DawgNation experts as they break down the latest Georgia football recruiting news and discuss coach Kirby Smart’s quest to keep the Bulldogs on top of the college football world. On episode No. 1,743 (July 27, 2022) of the podcast, Georgia fans can hear a discussion about why the Bulldogs’ recent hot streak of winning home games is probably more difficult than it has looked.

Hey BA - I also started going to GA home games in the 80’s and you are right about the home atmosphere. I can remember when there was discussion in the media about how Sanford Stadium wasn’t as loud as some other stadiums because of the open end that lets all the sound out. Stadiums like TN and LSU were considered “better” because they were enclosed bowls.
As a big Dawg fan, I never bought into that bull hockey. The open end is one of the things that makes Dooley Field special. I love to stand on the bridge and look into the stadium (and the new west stands and entry gate is awe inspiring).
That's said, the addition of the 600 level on the north side added some extra height to the stadium (not to mention more screaming fans) and it probably does help reflect the sound back towards the field. Those snide comments about Sanford not being as loud seemed to fade away once the total attendance grew to 92,000+.
Dawg fans have always known that we have the best home stadium and home field advantage in college football. Having a team that is kicking butt and taking names helps the atmosphere as well.
