Paulson Stadium is a 25,000 seat on campus football stadium in Statesboro, Georgia.〔(Campus Tour: Paulson Stadium ), Retrieved July 28, 2008〕 It is home to the Georgia Southern Eagles football team and the focal point of Erk Russell Athletic Park. Paulson Stadium was dedicated on Sept. 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.〔Georgia Southern Football Media Guide, 2004. 9〕 The phrase "Prettiest Little Stadium in America" was coined by former Coach Erk Russell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allen E. Paulson Stadium - Georgia Southern University Eagles Athletics )〕 The stadium has also come to be known as "Our House" to reflect the extreme home field advantage (Overall record of 177-33 and home playoff record of 33-3).〔Georgia Southern Football Media Guide, 2004. 187〕 ==History== The stadium is named for the late Allen E. Paulson, founder and owner of Gulfstream Aerospace, who donated more than $1 million toward construction of the facility. The late State Senator Glenn Bryant of Hinesville donated over $250,000 for the property. To recognize his gift, the playing surface of the stadium is named "Glenn Bryant Field". The first game in Paulson was originally scheduled for September 1, 1984, against the Florida A&M Rattlers, but construction delayed by wet weather forced this game to be played in Savannah. The first touchdown scored was a 36-yard run around the right side by quarterback Tracy Ham against Liberty Baptist on September 29, 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paulson Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
