The University of Georgia football team has played “Between the Hedges” since Sanford Stadium’s dedication in 1929. This year, the hedges will be revitalized to protect one of college football’s greatest traditions.
The most recent hedges — which last a typical lifespan of 20-40 years — were installed during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The current hedges were propagated four years before that, giving them a total life of 31 years.
