Paulson Stadium is a football facility in Statesboro designed to hold around 25,000 spectators with seating arrangements along the sidelines and in the end zones. The venue includes private boxes, an Eagle Club area, luxury suites, and a press box providing complete views of the field.
The stadium opened on September 29, 1984, when the Georgia Southern Eagles played their first game there, defeating Liberty Baptist 48-11. This event marked the beginning of the venue's role as home to the university's football program.
The stadium serves as a gathering place where fans come together to support the Georgia Southern Eagles football team. It represents a source of pride for the university community and its surrounding area.
The venue provides various seating sections with metal bleachers along the sidelines and designated areas in the end zones. It helps to check beforehand which viewing sections are available and if any special conditions apply for particular events.
Before each game, Freedom, the live eagle mascot, flies from the press box around the stadium and lands on a handler's arm in a striking display. This ritual creates a memorable moment that fans anticipate each time the Eagles play at home.
