Rain-free Fan Days expected for college football fans

University of Georgia and Georgia Tech football fans should enjoy a rain-free Fan Day Saturday.

Showers should stay to the north of metro Atlanta and Athens at least through 4 p.m., Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said.

Saturday morning, a cold front will bring “isolated showers and storms” over the North Georgia mountains, Monahan said. But rain isn’t expected to get in the way of sports plans.

UGA is holding its free open practice from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at Sanford Stadium. Coach Kirby Smart and players will be available for autographs on the field at approximately 4:45 p.m. Fans will be allowed to enter the stadium through gates 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the main gate beginning at 1:30 p.m. No photos or video will be allowed.

Georgia Tech’s Fan Day will begin with Wreckfest at 3:30 p.m. in Callaway Plaza (on the north side of Bobby Dodd Stadium) and end at 6:30 p.m. Season-ticket holders will be admitted into the stadium at 4:30 p.m., and the gates will open for the general public at 5 p.m.
