A new era of Georgia Basketball is upon us, and we could not be more excited to take our program to new heights under the leadership of head coach Mike White.
We have identified several new projects and initiatives that we will be undertaking over the next few years to position our program for more competitive success in both the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and at the national level. One such initiative is the reseating of Stegeman Coliseum prior to the 2023-2024 men’s basketball season.
The primary reason for the reseating of Stegeman Coliseum is to enhance the game day atmosphere for our student-athletes, students, and all fans in attendance. We also want to ensure that all current and new donors who are interested in purchasing season tickets are able to obtain seats that are commensurate with their level of support and overall investment in UGA Athletics.
We are grateful for your past support and for your continued support in the years to come.

The primary reason for the reseating of Stegeman Coliseum is to enhance
the game day atmosphere for our student-athletes, students, and all fans
in attendance. We also want to ensure that all current and new donors who
are interested in purchasing season tickets are able to obtain seats that are
commensurate with their level of support and their overall investment in UGA
Athletics. Reseating will create new opportunities for generous supporters and
season ticket holders who have increased their support and/or purchased
season tickets over a consecutive number of years, while also creating
opportunities for new donors and season ticket holders who have joined
The Georgia Bulldog Club (TGBC) in recent years.
Many schools reseat their arenas on a regular basis, including Kansas,
Maryland, Indiana, Louisville, Virginia, Duke, UCLA, and Penn State. Many of
these schools conduct reseating on an annual basis, while others stagger
their reseating process every few years.
No. Since we had the first ever seat selection process for women’s basketball
prior to the 2021-22 season, we do not feel that reseating women’s basketball
is necessary at this time.
The reseating process will take place online via a 3-D seating diagram of
Stegeman Coliseum, developed by Ballena Technologies, Inc. Ballena is the
leader in the field of venue visualization, and UGA utilizes their platform for
seat selection for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and gymnastics.
Donors interested in becoming new season ticket holders for the 2023-24
men’s basketball season and participating in the seat selection process
are encouraged to submit a men’s basketball season ticket application and
make the required minimum per-seat contribution to the Men’s Basketball
Fund (MBF) by the September 1, 2023, deadline.
MBF donors may purchase up to 8 season tickets per account. The maximum number of premium seats per account is 4.
No. All season tickets must be purchased and the minimum MBF contribution
associated with such must be made by the September 1, 2023 deadline.
Yes! Donors can increase their MBF contribution total during the seat selection
process in order to select available seats in a higher per-seat minimum
section than what their initial MBF contribution is eligible to select. Donors
can also increase their MBF gift to qualify for parking or hospitality donor
benefits during the seat selection process, if desired.
Yes. An email announcement will occur when the selection website is available
for viewing. At that time, additional information will be provided on how to
navigate the site. Season ticket holders will be encouraged to go online and
familiarize themselves with the site in advance of the seat selection process.
If you miss your time, you can login at any point after your allotted time to
make selections. Please note you will sacrifice your priority place in line if
you miss your appointment time as others will be logging in for selection
throughout the day. If you are not available for your appointment time, you
can assign a proxy to select seats on your behalf. We encourage you to
notify The Georgia Bulldog Club in writing at bulldogclub@uga.edu if you
need to assign a proxy so that we may assist if questions arise during the
selection time.
Customers who are unable to access a computer during their designated
appointment time may assign a proxy to select available seats. Alternatively,
customers may select their seats over the phone at 706-542-1231 or in
person at Stegeman Coliseum at their designated appointment time.
Donors at the Silver Circle level and above will be eligible to maintain existing
seat locations if their seats are in a section that is not being impacted by
the relocation of the student section.
Access to request reserved men’s basketball parking in the Hoke-Smith Lot,
McPhaul Center, Coverdell Lot, or East Foley Field lot will increase from a
$1,250 MBF contribution to a $1,500 MBF contribution. Donors who make
the minimum $1,500 MBF contribution will have the first right to renew their
existing parking location.
Courtside Club hospitality access will increase from a $4,500 MBF
contribution to a $5,000 MBF contribution. Richard B. Taylor Room hospitality
access will increase from a $2,750 MBF contribution to a $3,000 MBF
contribution.
