Maxing out

As is the custom at Georgia – and the Dawg Nation certainly knows the drill by now – half of the required 80 million dollars will come from private donations. McGarity told the Athletic Board Friday that Georgia will not assume any long-term debt to improve its facilities.

The new Georgia football addition will be connected to the existing Butts-Mehre Building and will be located in the area between the track grandstand and the indoor practice building. The new facility will be three stories tall, with the plan for construction crews to dig down through the ground to place the first floor even with the lower Woodruff Practice Fields and the bottom floor of the indoor building.

The main thing construction crews have to do is make space for the “wow area.”
