The annual Georgia Southern Football Fan Fest returns to Allen E. Paulson Stadium this Saturday, Aug. 13. Gates will open at 6pm, and the football team will hold an open practice at 7pm. The Fan Fest is free and open to fans of all ages.
It's never too early to get in the spirit of tailgating, so the tailgate lot will be open for all fans to set up their tents, RVs, grills, and flags before the fest.
Inflatables for kids to enjoy will be set up on the Field of Dreams. GUS, the Southern Pride Marching Band, and the GS Cheerleaders will also be in attendance.
Parking is free and available in the lot next to the construction of the Anthony P. Tippins Family Indoor Practice Facility. (Fans may enter from Lanier Drive.) Gates 5, 7, and 8 will be the only entrances to the stadium, and fans may sit throughout the stadium.
No registration is needed for the event.
Kiosks will be set up inside the stadium for ticketing, donations, and general inquiries. Fans may purchase tickets at the event including football season, single-game, and mini plan tickets, or purchase them online at GSEagles.com/Tickets. Fans may also join the Erk Russell Fund. Membership starts at just $60/year or $5/month online at Give.GSEagles.com.
NEW IN 2022!
At the halfway point of Saturday's practice, there will be a field goal contest for all fans to enter to win two tickets to the new Field of Dreams premium area at the season opener. Fans may enter into a drawing for a chance to kick a 25-yard field goal. Twenty names will be drawn and will have the chance to kick during the scrimmage. There is no limit to the number of winners, and each selected participant will get one try. Fans must enter the drawing in-person on the south concourse by Section G (My First Game location on game days).
As areas continue to be upgraded throughout Paulson for premium seating, fans may view the new Four Topps mesh-back seating with cup holders in Section D. Click here to review premium seating options at Paulson Stadium or call the Athletic Ticket Office at 1 (800) GSU-WINS.
Georgia Southern opens the season at 6pm on Sept. 3 at home against Morgan State. Go Eagles!
