The Georgia fan takeovers continue. Dawg fans travel, and they travel well to follow their program now that Kirby Smart has positioned the program in a place of prominence in college football. As they continue to take stadiums over, you can place the takeovers into three buckets.
LSU’s the latest stadium to have huge hordes of Georgia fans all over it
Now that UGA’s really good, Dawg fans travel well ... really well.
The complete relocation of Sanford Stadium
Notre Dame — 2017
This was so seriously impressive. Every Georgia fan you know was in Chicago for the Cubs game the night before, then they all showed up in nearby South Bend.
They basically turned it into Sanford Stadium North. It was wild.
The better-than-usual showing at a road game
LSU — 2018
South Bench in 2017 this is not, but it’s still impressive.
Even LSU fans are impressed by it, as they see the vaunted Tiger Stadium — albeit during a day game — painted red and black.
Companies are even starting to facilitate these road trips with sweet road trips for Dawg fans, capitalizing on the excitement.
Early Saturday morning, $189 party-bus passengers will gather at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and enjoy a two-hour, catered “pregame tailgate” on the field. After check-in, they’ll board the buses for the 79-mile ride to Baton Rouge, where the tailgate will resume on the LSU Golf Course. After the game, they will return to the Superdome in New Orleans, where there will be an option to party some more.
The impressive ones, but less so with context
Georgia Tech — 2017
This is in Atlanta, the biggest city in Georgia and home to plenty of Dawg fans.
Vanderbilt — 2017
This makes some sense too. Nashville is the SEC road trip that fans love to make, and that side of Vandy’s stadium is often chock-full of opposing fans.
Tennessee — 2017
The Vols were awful, and Georgia squadded up. But that’s where road fans usually sit in Neyland Stadium anyway.
Beware, if the Dawgs are on your team’s schedule.
UGA fans are coming ... in droves.
