11/17/2020 4:02:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The Eagles are currently scheduled to play 13 games in Hanner Fieldhouse this season.
STATESBORO – Four contests in Hanner Fieldhouse and road games at Davidson, Florida International and Florida Gulf Coast highlight the Georgia Southern men's basketball non-conference schedule, announced today by head coach Brian Burg.
"Our goal in putting together our non-conference schedule is to prepare our team for Sun Belt play and to provide Eagle Nation with multiple opportunities to see us in Hanner Fieldhouse," said Burg. "Despite the challenges with scheduling brought about by COVID this season, I think we accomplished both of those goals."
The Eagles will open the season by playing host to Florida National Wednesday, Nov. 25, at 1 p.m. in Hanner Fieldhouse in the first meeting between the schools, and Georgia Southern will welcome Coastal Georgia to Hanner Saturday, Nov. 28, in a 4 p.m. tipoff.
The Eagles travel to former Southern Conference rival and current Atlantic 10 competitor Davidson Dec. 11, before hosting longtime rival Mercer in Hanner Fieldhouse Dec. 13. GS plays host to Carver Dec. 15, and caps the non-conference slate by traveling to Florida for three games. The Eagles will play at Florida International in a multi-team event Dec. 19-20, and cross the state to take on Florida Gulf Coast Dec. 22. GS opens its Sun Belt slate New Year's Day against South Alabama.
The Georgia Southern Athletics Ticket Office has announced its procedure for purchasing tickets for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
To align with guidance put in place by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and following NCAA, Sun Belt Conference, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Georgia Department of Public Health and University System of Georgia social distancing standards due to concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia Southern will begin the season with a limited capacity in Hanner Fieldhouse. As a result, Georgia Southern men's basketball will turn to a "Single-Game Ticket Sales" model for this season.
Current season ticket holders will have their current seats automatically rolled over to the 2021-22 season and have the first opportunity to purchase single-game tickets for the 2020-21 season. Single-game tickets for non-conference games will go on sale Nov. 18 to season ticket holders based on priority points. Single-game tickets for non-conference games will then open up for the general public starting on Nov. 23. Tickets for Sun Belt games Conference will go on sale starting the Monday of each home weekend series for season ticket holders based on priority points. Any remaining tickets will be sold to the public starting each Thursday.
Socially-distanced reserved seating will be available in the lower level across from the team benches and in the upper level on both sides, and tickets can be purchased online at GSEagles.com/tix or by calling 1-800-GSU-WINS.
Ticket Pricing
Upper Reserved: $20 season ticket holder, $25 general public
Two game conference package: $30 for season ticket holder, $40 for general public
Lower Reserved:$25 season ticket holder, $30 general public
Two game conference package: $40 season ticket holder, $50 general public
Student seating will be available in the upper-level baseline sections on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be two student-entry points this season – one in its usual place off of Herty Drive, facing the College of Health and Human Sciences, and one on the other side of the building, facing the Hanner upper parking lot.
Social distancing will be maintained throughout the arena to the fullest extent possible, including limiting court access in accordance with Sun Belt and NCAA recommendations, and face coverings must be worn by all fans, staff and media members when inside Hanner Fieldhouse.
In order to allow for contactless entry to Hanner Fieldhouse, all 2020-21 Georgia Southern basketball tickets will be delivered electronically to the ticket holder's mobile device. Tickets will not be available by mail, but fans will have the option to print tickets/passes at home. Contactless tickets are similar to traditional event tickets but easier to use and more secure.
Cashless transactions will be in place for all concession stands, and as a best safety practice, water fountains will be unavailable this season.
Georgia Southern is coming off its third consecutive 20-win season and advanced to the Sun Belt Championship Semifinals for the third straight campaign. The Eagles are 42-16 at home against Sun Belt competition since joining the league in 2014.
