STATESBORO - It was a great day for the Georgia Southern athletics family Saturday as the ground was broken on the Anthony P. Tippins Family Indoor Practice Facility prior to the annual spring game. The $12.3 million facility will be built adjacent to Allen E. Paulson Stadium and will serve all 17 NCAA-sponsored athletic programs. The transformative project, which is slated for completion in early 2023, will benefit the needs of all 400 student-athletes while also creating new revenue-generating activities for the department.
Speakers for the event included University President Dr. Kyle Marrero, Director of Athletics Jared Benko, Tippins, Chairman of the Athletic Foundation Leonard Bevill, softball coach Sharon Perkins and football coach Clay Helton.
