The "Bulldog Haven" is a resting place in the shadows of Georgia's football stadium that is devoted exclusively to Bulldog lettermen and their families.

So far, more than 100 spots at the site have been sold to ex-Bulldog players and their families at $1,500 apiece. The Georgia Football Lettermen's Club, which is organizing the sale, is pitching it as a way to "come full circle."

"You have to do this at some point," said Andy Johnson, a Georgia quarterback in the 1970s who recently bought a plot. "We have an opportunity to be buried with all the guys we played at Georgia with. It's kind of sentimental to be buried this close to the stadium."

The former players came up with the idea after Bulldog great Bill Hartman's 2006 funeral at another plot in the Oconee Hill Cemetery, just across the street from the stadium.

The result is a tidy plot where contractors plan to build a wall that looks like stadium steps, a small-scale version of a football field and a small chapel bell.

"We thought it would be great to be buried close to the stadium where we could hear the crowds six times a year," said Guest, a former lineman and president of the lettermen's club. "It goes back to the Georgia tradition. There's nothing like being in Athens on a Saturday afternoon."
