University of Georgia's $63 million stadium upgrade includes a new locker room, a lounge for recruits, and shows how swanky football facilities have become by Meredith Cash on Sep 21, 2018, 12:58 PM Advertisement
The Georgia Bulldogs have been dominant on the gridiron to start the season. Thanks to three dominant victories in which the Bulldogs outscored their opponents by an average of 37 points per contest, Georgia has once again landed at the top of the college football rankings and looks primed to return to the College Football Playoff for the second time in as many years.
Perhaps even more impressive than the Bulldogs' play, however, is their brand-new locker room and stadium renovation, which shows just how over-the-top and luxurious college football facilities have become. The "West End Zone Project" took 16 months to complete and cost the university an estimated $63 million, which was raised primarily through The Georgia Bulldog Club's leadership fundraising entity, The Magill Society. Georgia's new stomping grounds feature an upgraded locker room, a new lounge for hosting recruits on game days, restroom and concession area renovations, a new scoreboard, and an expanded upper plaza. Check out some images of the 120,000 square-foot renovation: Georgia's "West End Zone project" at Sanford Stadium was designed by HOK, the architect firm responsible for many stadiums around the world. 
"Sanford Stadium is one of our feature showpieces," Smith said. "To be able to enjoy that environment and have a great place to host [recruits] on game day, that's a great advantage." 
A giant signature "G" on the ceiling greets visitors and players as they enter the brand-new locker room, which is twice the size of its predecessor.
