Bulldog Park earns Georgia tailgate honor

Bulldog Park received DawgNation’s Kroger Tailgate of the Week honor as top-ranked Georgia returned home to face No. 22 Missouri in Athens.

DawgNation correspondent Molly Morris found a game-day setup filled with RVs, crock pots, televisions and a bounce house for children. The group has gathered at Bulldog Park since 2018, building its Saturday routine around friends, family and Georgia football.

A Georgia fan named Ed helps organize the gathering. He described its best feature as bringing friends and family together to support the Bulldogs.

New members also are directed to meet Miss Nancy, known within the group as the Jell-O-shot queen. Her contribution began at the Georgia-Florida game, also known as The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, and developed into a weekly tradition.

Morris closed the visit with rapid-fire questions about preferences for cold or hot games, a one-word description of Georgia coach Kirby Smart and opinions on Missouri’s mascot. Bulldog Park received a $100 Kroger gift card and a DawgNation apron for winning the weekly honor.

Why it matters

Bulldog Park’s recognition highlights the fan traditions surrounding Georgia home games. The gathering brings friends and families together before the Bulldogs take the field.

What to watch next

A later date, decision or game is unavailable.
