STATESBORO, Ga - This week, Statesboro will see an influx of charter buses and new faces as the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championship Tournament kicks off on Tuesday, May 23 for the top 10 conference teams.
However, Statesboro residents will also notice an unexpected change in landscape off of Fair Road by way of a 47-foot ferris wheel tucked between J.I. Clements Stadium and Hanner Fieldhouse.
Why? Georgia Southern University Athletics will host a Fan Fair, sponsored by the Georgia National Guard, as part of tournament festivities for one of America's Best Communities and its guests.
