It's more than evident at Paulson Stadium that some changes are underway and for this season, some patience will be required as some usually traversed areas will not be available. Please plan to arrive at Paulson Stadium earlier and allow ample time to enter the gates and For more information on the construction and limited access to certain areas at Paulson Stadium, visit HERE:

A free gameday shuttle for Georgia Southern fans and guests is available with service from five stops beginning 2.5 hours prior to kickoff and running for an hour after the official game time end.
