Georgia football national championship parade information
The Georgia Bulldogs are celebrating their first national championship since 1980 on Jan. 15. Georgia fans will have one last chance to see members of the 2021 football team before the several members of the Bulldogs move on.
The event will be held similar to a normal Georgia football game and will give some seniors one last chance to experience Sanford Stadium (from the prospect of a student athlete) and all of the traditions associated with Saturday in Athens.
Here’s what you need to know about Georgia’s national championship celebration:
