It will be one of four SEC spring games that ESPN affiliates will be televising on that day.

Last year, UGA set an SEC record with 93,000 people showing up for its G-Day game. First-year head coach Kirby Smart had pushed hard for fans to fill Sanford Stadium, and will no doubt be making a similar pitch this year as the spring game comes closer.
Admission to the Bulldogs' spring scrimmage is free.
No additional attractions have yet been announced for the day, but there are usually games, other attractions and entertainment at the G-Day tilt. Last year, Atlanta rapper Ludacris performed at halftime of Georgia's G-Day contest.
