Why did football fans boo Glen Powell during the UGA game at Sanford Stadium?
On October 12, an intense match between UGA and Mississippi State was conducted at Sanford Stadium. To fans’ surprise, Powell was also present for the game. During the match’s halftime, he entered the field dressed in football attire alongside his other mysterious team members. They all sported a blue and white jersey and Powell acted as their team leader.
It was reportedly known that Powell’s surprising appearance at a UGA game was not coincidental but a pre-planned shoot. It was a filming scene for his upcoming Hulu series, Chad Powers.

Powell ran on the field during halftime with his team players and began filming the Chad Power scenes. Many individuals started to boo at him and recorded this particular moment. Fans took to social media to share clips of Powell and their ongoing Hulu series shoot. Certainly, the booing likely wasn’t necessarily negative but was a starstruck moment for many present at the stadium. It’s also possible that the booing might have been a part of the series’ filming.
Chad Powers is based on Eli Manning’s character and is written by Powell, Michael Waldron, and Adam Fasullo. The filming began in recent August. As of now, a particular release date hasn’t been announced for the series.
