DawgNation Invasions are Back

DawgNation is hitting the road, and the DawgNation family is coming with us. This fall, we’re taking over Atlanta and Oxford for two unforgettable game day tailgates, bringing Dawgs fans together for great food, drinks, entertainment and plenty of Georgia pride.

We’ll kick things off at Cosm Atlanta ahead of Georgia vs. Florida, then head to The Lyric Oxford as the Dawgs take on Ole Miss. Come hang with us before the big games and get ready for kickoff with the DawgNation family. Space will be limited, so join the list now to be among the first to know when tickets go on sale.
