Tips for a Georgia Game

Well, football season is just a little over a month away, so I thought I would start blogging again. I am trying to get everyone ready for the 2009 season. First I did a countdown of seven important games, and today I want to do a blog giving tips on Georgia games. To fans who go to every Georgia game, this blog may not be much help, but to those of us who can't make every game maybe these tips will interest you.

Ok if you're going to spend the night in Athens I love the Holiday Inn in the center of town or the Game Day hotel. Sometimes Athens is booked on game days, so reserve early. If you don't want to spend as much, try hotels in Madison.

About 2 hours before the game is a little something Georgia fans like to call the Dawg Walk. Always, Always go to the Dawg Walk. It is a very exciting event to see the players get off the buses and enter the stadium. This happens right beside the bookstore in front of the entrance to the stadium. It is one of my favorite parts of going to a game.

Before the game, find a good parking place in a nearby parking lot. Yes, you most likely will have to pay to park. If it's your first game or even if it's not: go in early. It's always interesting to me to watch the players run out and warm up.

I can't give much advice about what to do during the game. If you don't know...trust me you'll catch on.

If it's not a close game you may want to leave a bit early because if you don't...prepare to sit in your car waiting to get out for a while. My family usually gets chairs out of the back of the car and sits in the parking lot until things clear out.

So, that is just a few tips about my favorite thing to do on Saturdays. Can't wait until August 30th. Go Dawgs!
