In the video, fans can see the Dawgs' iconic red lights illuminate Sanford Stadium as the players run out of the tunnel, similar to how it does during a night game in Athens. In addition to the lights, updated animations and fans have also been included this year. As well as an in-game appearance from Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart.

Sanford Stadium is an iconic landmark in not only video games, but in the real world of college football. The Dawgs are currently on a more than 30-game home win streak and will be looking to extend it against some formidable opponents during the 2025 regular season.

The Bulldogs will make their first real-life appearance in Sanford Stadium this season on Saturday, August 30th, when they host the Marshall Thundering Herd. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and will be aired on ESPN.
