Chapel Bell Rings Again as University of Georgia Completes Repairs Ahead of Season Opener

• Share on:

ATHENS — The University of Georgia announced on Friday that the Chapel Bell, a cherished symbol for Bulldog fans, would be available to ring after Saturday's season opener against Marshall, despite earlier reports of rot in its support beams. Repairs were completed ahead of schedule, ensuring the bell, which has been ringing after football victories for over a century, would continue its tradition. The bell, located on the university's North Campus, has a storied history dating back to the 1800s, including its first documented celebration after a win against Auburn in 1894.
