Expansion Projects Underway at Allen E. Paulson Stadium

Extensive improvements are underway at Allen E. Paulson Stadium as the Eagles move up to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2014 and begin playing in the Sun Belt Conference. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in early June for the privately funded $10 million Football Operations Center (FOC), and the construction of an additional 6,200 seats.

The 50,000-square-foot FOC will have state-of-the-art features and facilities including offices for the football coaches, locker rooms, workout facilities, meeting space and a Hall of Fame exhibit to highlight the rich history of the Eagles and the team’s legendary players. Last year, Georgia Southern students voted to pay a $75 fee to fund the move to FBS and a $25 fee for stadium expansion.
