Allen E. Paulson Stadium is a 25,000-seat on-campus football stadium in Statesboro, Georgia.[2] It is home to the Georgia Southern Eagles football team and the focal point of Erk Russell Athletic Park.
Paulson Stadium was dedicated on September 29, 1984, with a 48–11 win over Liberty University. The game was a fitting end to four years of planning one of the finest I-AA facilities in America.[3] The phrase "Prettiest Little Stadium in America" was coined by former Coach Erk Russell.[4] The stadium has also come to be known as "Our House" to reflect the extreme home field advantage (Overall record of 193–41 and home playoff record of 33–3).[5]
