After shape notes
- On any Saturday UGA plays a home football game, the stadium sits inside a stadium TFR — a 3-nautical-mile, 3,000-foot-MSL exclusion centered on the stadium, running from one hour before to one hour after the game. Violating a stadium TFR can bring serious federal penalties, so avoid flying anywhere near Sanford Stadium on home-game days.
