Herty Field - My Favorite

 Herty Field, located just behind New College on North Campus, is my favorite spot here at the University of Georgia.  It's just beautiful.

Beautiful view of Herty Field

This is my favorite view on campus.  To find this you would have to go to the third floor of the annex of the law library. 

Herty Field

Herty Field is one of my favorite spots on the University of Georgia campus.  It was the first field for football and baseball at the University of Georgia

The field was completed in 1891.  It was named for Dr. Charles Herty who was a chemistry professor and responsible for bringing football to the university.  He also is credited for bringing baseball to UGA.   I have a personal love for the baseball team because my grandfather and grand uncle both played for Georgia between 1909 and 1913,.  Since I work on North Campus I make a special effort to walk by Herty Field at least once a day and think of them.

This picture was taken in the summer.  You won't see those gorgeous plants right now as the university replaces them with smaller ones for football season.  Football fans are extremely hard on our beautiful campus and leave a lot of garbage and destruction behind.

Check out the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library website to see a collection of old photos of the university.  There is a great one of Herty Field.
