STATESBORO, Ga. -- Georgia Southern University President Brooks Keel invites all Eagle fans to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Football Operations Center and Paulson Stadium expansion Wednesday, June 5th, in the east end-zone of the stadium. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. Guests should access Glenn Bryant Field at Gate 4 near Bishop Field House.
A live video stream of the event will be available at http://gseagles.com/watch-listen and will be published for on-demand viewing later in the day.
Scheduled for completion in April 2014, the new Football Operations Center, a $10 million privately funded project, will house coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms, a video production suite, locker rooms, strength & conditioning space, rehabilitation center, equipment room, and football Hall of Fame within its 50,000 square feet.
In addition, the north stands of Paulson Stadium will see improvements in the form of over 6,000 additional seats. The current on-grade seating will be expanded by approximately 1,500 new seats and 4,500 will be added with the construction of an upper deck. With this student-fee funded expansion, seating capacity at Paulson Stadium will exceed 21,000 permanent seats. Construction of this $10 million project is scheduled for completion in May 2014.
