Top five traditions for Georgia football

The Dawg Walk

While welcoming the team has always seemed to be a tradition, the modern-day Dawg Walk that we know started in 2001.

According to Georgiadogs.com, the Dawg Walk we all love began in 2001 when Mark Richt appointed a spirit committee to build the fan enthusiasm.

It was derived from the existing Redcoat Band pregame warmup that previously took place outside the Tate Student Center.

Fans gather around hours before the game to get the perfect spot and welcome the team. I remember going to the Dawg Walk every week; it was something I couldn’t miss growing up as a young fan.

My grandmother and I would go each week, and it became our favorite thing to do with each other.

It gives me chills every time I think about how the Redcoat Band play “Glory, Glory” and seeing the team walk through that massive crowd.

The Dawg Walk has changed a good bit since 2001, and with the latest renovations to the west endzone, I think it makes it that much better.

Recruits use to walk in with the team, but with the new recruiting facility, they get to watch from a ledge that overlooks the parking lot and Gate 10.

I love that this design was incorporated because I think it gives a view that no other fan gets and it’s a huge selling point.

This tradition is my fourth favorite because of all the meaning it comes with me personally and how awesome of a recruiting sell it is.
