Georgia fans tailgate all over Athens, but a popular spot is North Campus, which is bounded by Broad Street, Lumpkin Street, Baldwin Street, and Jackson Street (including, but not limited to, the area between Broad Street and Old College, the area between Old College and the Main Library, and Herty Field).

There are so many restaurants and bars in Athens it’s hard to go wrong, but for some good recommendations, check out Roush’s post from earlier today.
