The Georgia Southern Athletic Department announced Monday that numerous activities will load up the calendars for the weekend of April 4-6, 2025. As Eagle Nation flocks to the 'Boro, patrons can participate in several events suitable for the whole family.
The Georgia Southern softball team hosts Coastal Carolina in a three-game series during the weekend. The series begins Friday at 6 p.m. for Teacher Appreciation Night, followed by a 3 p.m. game on Saturday with a "Mission: Softball" promotion - playing off the infamous Mission: Impossible movie, and concludes Sunday at noon for Strikeout Cancer.

Also on Friday evening, April 4, is the Punt, Pass, and Kick Contest for kids ages 12 and under. Kids can show off their skills on the gridiron while hanging out with Georgia Southern football players and enjoying Leopold's ice cream. Check-in will begin at 5:30 p.m. next to Bishop Fieldhouse at Paulson Stadium. The competition will begin at 6:30 p.m. Free registration is still available at GSEagles.com/PPK, which also has more details.
Saturday morning starts with Destination Eagle Nation. This event, which celebrates accepted students to Georgia Southern, offers future Eagles the opportunity to connect with current students, faculty, staff, alumni and other admitted students at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. Registration is required by clicking here.
If you think you have the best tailgate in Eagle Nation, show off your setup at the Tailgate Contest before Saturday's Spring Game kickoff. We're looking for the most spirited, creative, and all-around best tailgate experience. Gather your crew, bring the energy, and let us see why your tailgate stands out. And we won't stop you if you want to offer a little local fare too! It's free to enter at GSEagles.com/TailgateContest.
The Blue vs. White Spring Football Game, presented by Morris Bank, Southern Exchange, The Sack Company and the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, kicks off Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The game will conclude with an autograph session with the team on the field. The event is once again free of charge and includes free parking. The Gold Lot and Teal Lot will be unavailable for parking and tailgating - they are reserved for Destination Eagle Nation attendees. There will be no clear bag policy in effect.
Later Saturday evening, patrons can head over to The Hill for the EFAA $10,000 Reverse Raffle. Tickets remain on sale, and each ticket grants one (1) entry into the raffle and two (2) entries into the event. Support Georgia Southern Football by buying your tickets at GSEagles.com/EFAAraffle.
