It won’t just be Sanford Stadium for much longer as Georgia football plans to honor Vince Dooley on Saturday and name the field after him.
Now instead of Sanford Stadium, it’ll be Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium.
According to a Georgia Sports Communication press release, during the pregame festivities on Saturday against Murray State, there will be a ceremony dedicating the field to Dooley.
That same press release said this decision came after a May 2 proposal made by the University of Georgia to the University System Board of Regents. The board approved it on May 14.
