Georgia Bulldogs Fans' Bucket List

by Jason Butt, Jim Donnan (Foreword by)

Overview

Every Georgia Bulldogs fan has a bucket list of activities to take part in at some point in their lives. But even the most die-hard fans haven’t done everything there is to experience in and around Athens, Georgia. From taking part in the Dawg Walk to meeting Uga, author Jason Butt provides ideas, recommendations, and insider tips for must-see places and can't-miss activities near Sanford Stadium. But not every experience requires a trip to campus; long-distance Dawgs fans can cross some items off their list from the comfort of their own homes. Whether you're attending every home game or supporting from afar, there's something for every fan to do in The Georgia Bulldogs Fans' Bucket List.
