GAME DAY SHUTTLE
Begins 2.5 hours prior to kickoff, ends 1 hour after official game end time
For the convenience of Georgia Southern fans and guests, a free Shuttle service is offered on game days. Beginning 2.5 hours prior to kickoff and running 1 hour after the official game end time, the Game Day Shuttle Service services a five-stop route from the Russell Student Union (#1) to the stop near the corner of Forest and Plant Drives (#2). The third stop is near the circle entrance of the Nursing/Chemistry Building (#3), directly across from the Ceramics/Sculpture Building lot (parking lot 33, Eagle Fund General Admission Parking). The fourth stop is near the Recreation Activity Center on Akins Blvd. (#4). The final stop brings fans to the northwest corner of Paulson Stadium (#5). The shuttle returns to the Russell Student Union.
"Football Shuttle Stop" signs are posted so fans may identify the shuttle pick-up and drop-off locations. Average round trip is 17-20 minutes depending on traffic. From the Russell Union shuttle stop, it would not be unreasonable to plan for a 15-minute travel time prior to the game.
Most of the buses in the shuttle fleet are handicap accessible with wheelchair lifts.
The Game Day Shuttle map is available HERE.
PAULSON STADIUM PARKING
Address: 203 Lanier Drive, Statesboro, GA 30458
Parking for fans at Paulson Stadium requires a special parking pass, obtained by acquiring Eagle Fund Priority Points and season parking pass orders. For more information on donating to the Eagle Fund, click HERE.
For guests with Paulson parking passes and media members, please enter the Paulson Stadium parking lot off Lanier Drive.
Prior to parking at Paulson Stadium, please locate your assigned spot using the parking map provided in your membership renewal from earlier this year or by clicking viewing the map on the GSU Athletic Foundation page on www.ringsanddiplomas.com or by clicking HERE.
Each assigned space will be protected for that donor's exclusive use from 8:00 a.m. the morning of a game until the conclusion of the game.
If your space is located on the "water tower" side of the parking lot, consider entering the parking lot from the Malecki Drive entrance near the water tower. Malecki Drive is accessible only from the Akins Blvd. entrance. Those parking on the press box side of the stadium should enter on Lanier Drive near the Cowart Building/Athletics Ticket Office.
Please note: Your parking spot will be either on the "Top" or "Bottom" of a row. Please enter your assigned area with this in mind
Parking spaces are in a square formation which may require you to enter your spot using a "three-point" turn when the lot is full. Be careful and go slow.
If you park in the wrong space and we are unable to locate you, your vehicle will be towed at your expense.
If you arrive at Paulson Stadium and find another person's vehicle in your assigned space, please find a security officer to handle the situation. DO NOT simply park your vehicle in the wrong space. If this occurs we will most likely end up towing the person who parked in your space and you.

Please be considerate of those around you when tailgating when playing music or setting up outdoor activities around your tailgate area.
Common alcohol containers such as kegs are not permitted in the Paulson Stadium parking lot.
Electric generators are only allowed in the RV/Large Tailgate parking areas.
Food, drinks, umbrellas and pets are not allowed inside Paulson Stadium.
Fans who leave Paulson Stadium will be required to purchase another ticket to re-enter.
RECYCLING PROGRAM
Please keep trash to a minimum.
Large trash and recycling receptacles are located throughout the lot for your convenience. Through a partnership with Keep Bulloch Beautiful, Recycling will be available inside the Stadium and outside in the parking area.
As part of the tailgate portion, special event recycling containers will be set up 3-4 hours prior to kickoff in "pods" next to each dumpster, trashcan, and at the end of each row of parking spots. Volunteers will also navigate through the tailgating area to pass out bags to tailgaters for their plastic bottles and aluminum cans.
Fans are encouraged to use these bags for their recyclables and leave the bags in their tailgate spot as they enter the game. Tailgaters are also asked to bring beverages in cans or plastic bottles, glass will not be recycled for safety reasons.
The recycling container "pods" will be removed 15-20 minutes before the game starts and all bags containing recyclables will be collected. Last year's the tailgating recycling program averaged 1,000-1,200 pounds of recyclables collected and diverted from the landfill at each game.
For more information or to volunteer, please contact Keep Bulloch Beautiful at (912) 764-6147 or GSU Recycling Program at (912) 478-7225.
