ATLANTA -- Five weeks to the day before the inaugural game at Georgia State Stadium, head coach Shawn Elliott and the entire team and staff spent the morning in their new home, helping prepare the venue for its opening.
The Panthers open the 2017 season and Georgia State Stadium by hosting Tennessee State on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m.
Team and staff members helped to re-number the seats and prepare suites and other areas of the stadium.
"This is our home, and I think it's important that we invest in it with a little sweat equity," Elliott said.
