Georgia Saturdays: Between the Hedges

Detailed in full-color splendor through this remarkable book is the essence of a University of Georgia football weekend at legendary Sanford Stadium. Surrounded by its famous hedges, the stadium is widely known as one of the country’s most beautiful sports arenas and regarded as arguably the greatest spectator stadium in the south. Saturdays: Between the Hedges provides a look at the fans, the tradition, the pageantry, the drama, the players and coaches, and the excitement of Bulldogs football.

Sanford Stadium, which will celebrate its 75th anniversary during the fall of 2004, rests in the middle of the Georgia campus, a reminder of how important football—especially Bulldogs football—is to the people of the Peach State. For 23 consecutive seasons, Georgia has ranked among the nation’s top 10 schools in average home attendance.

Photographer Radi Nabulsi and author Jeff Dantzler, both longtime Georgia loyalists, take readers through a football weekend in Athens with sterling four-color photographs and insightful words. From being in beautiful Athens, considered one of the nation’s top college towns, to walking through "The Arch" to "How ’Bout Them Dogs," "The Silver Britches," "The Dawg Walk," and college football’s most celebrated mascot, "Uga," fans have the opportunity to experience and remember what a special place and time it is to be at a Georgia football game.
