Dan J. Parrish, Sr. Football Center

Details

The Dan J. Parrish, Sr. Football Center finished completion in November 2000. The Parrish Center houses 10 coaches’ offices, state of the art XOS video system, staff meeting rooms, team meeting rooms, staff locker room, memorabilia from past championships, pictorial displays commemorating all-conference and all-america honorees, reception and recruiting areas, and most importantly, six national championship trophies.

In addition to the Parrish Center, Iron Works underwent a complete renovation in January 2005 which expanded it to 6,400 square feet. The building provides the strength and conditioning equipment for all 15 NCAA Division I sports. The Gene Bishop Field House, completed in September 2006 and located adjacent to Paulson Stadium, gives the Eagle Football team a luxurious locker room area for every home game.

From a video scoreboard, to a brick facade around the stands, to a renovated concourse area, Paulson Stadium has seen unprecedented growth over the past five years, truly giving Georgia Southern one of the finest football facilities in football today.
