Allen E. Paulson Stadium

Allen E. Paulson Stadium was dedicated on Sept. 29, 1984 with a 48-11 rout of Liberty Baptist. The game was a fitting end to four years of planning and hard work - four years of dreaming of one of the finest football facilities in America.

The phrase “The Prettiest Little Stadium in America” was coined by former head coach Erk Russell.

Constructed at a cost of $4.7 million, Paulson Stadium currently seats 18,000 spectators while permanent light fixtures were added prior to the 1994 season.

The stadium features a prescription athletic turf playing field designed to accommodate both soccer and football, special climate-controlled VIP boxes with luxurious interiors, private restrooms and food service areas.

Prior to the start of the 2005 season, a brick façade was built along the walls of Paulson Stadium while the video scoreboard was also surrounded with a brick garden/façade.

Paulson Stadium reflects and enhances the growing importance of Georgia Southern University and Southeast Georgia - an importance symbolized by the area's economic and educational impact on the state and nation.

The stadium is named for the late Allen E. Paulson, who donated more than $1 million toward construction of the facility.
