This week Volleyball Magazine listed Georgia State as the best place to play beach volleyball in the state. The three courts tucked away on the corner of Decatur Street and Piedmont Avenue have been home to the nationally ranked Sandy Panthers for the past eight seasons.
The construction for the current GSU Beach Complex began in summer of 2012. Prior to hosting sand and palm trees, the court area outside of the GSU Sports Arena was home to recreational tennis courts. Even further in its history, the courts were once the site of an ice and coal company that supplied the railroad, which still runs behind the courts today.
