Herty Field, also known as Alumni Athletic Field,[1] was the original on-campus playing venue for football and baseball at the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia.
It opened in the Fall of 1891 and hosting the first UGA home football game against Mercer University on January 30, 1892.
Under the direction of Dr. Charles Herty, a professor of chemistry at UGA and the creator of the UGA varsity football and baseball teams, the field was landscaped to host games and practices for the university's varsity and intramural activities.
He led efforts to improve the field including raising USD$1,900.00 in 1897 from UGA alumni to further landscape the field and build bleachers.
