ATLANTA -- The Georgia State community got its first look at the Panthers' new football venue at Thursday's FanFest, the first event in Georgia State Stadium.
Two weeks before the Aug. 31 inaugural game, Georgia State Stadium was dressed and ready to go, and 3,000 students and fans took the opportunity to check out the transformation from the former Turner Field and see the head coach Shawn Elliott's Panthers practice.
"Here we are in the beautiful new home," Elliott said afterward. "It's an unbelievbale facility. It's really remarkable that this is our home and we have an opportunity to play our games here.
