T.V. AND RADIO BROADCAST INFO

 
The G-Day game will be televised on the SEC Network, with Dave Neal and UGA alumni Matt Stinchcomb calling the spring game from the booth and Maria Taylor reporting from the sidelines. You can also find coverage on the Georgia Bulldogs Sports Network from IMG with Scott Howard and Eric Zeier providing the play-by-play and Chuck Dowdle providing commentary from the sideline.
 
 

G-DAY PROMOTIONS

 
G-Day has traditionally included a canned food drive in behalf of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. This year, in lieu of bringing canned goods to the game, fans are asked to consider making monetary donations to the Food Bank at the United Healthcare display from 11:00 a.m. until kickoff. Donations will be accepted at Gates 6 and 7 and outside at Gate 10 underneath the bridge.
 
 
Additionally, fans will also be encouraged to help continue UGA’s drive to build a handicapped-accessible home for former Southern University football player Devon Gales, who suffered a career-ending spinal injury at Sanford Stadium in 2015. Donations can be made by texting “Devon” to the following number – (706) 204-1707 – or by writing a personal check, made payable to the Devon Gales House Construction Fund, and mailing to the following address:
UGAAA
1 Selig Circle
Butts-Mehre Hall, Room 402
Athens, GA 30603
Attn: Bryant Gantt
 
 
At halftime, fans attending G-Day can expect to be introduced to UGA’s incoming class of 2017 signees. Additional activities during a packed, 12-minute intermission include: the Region’s Bank Cash Catch, where two lucky fans will compete for cash and prizes by attempting to catch passes from Bulldog alumni QBs D.J. Shockley and David Greene; and the Academy Punt, Pass or Kick promotion, when one lucky fan will win up to a $500 gift card to Academy Sports & Outdoors, and additional fans could win $50 gift cards to Academy.
