ATLANTA – Head coach Shawn Elliott and the Panthers football team are inviting Georgia State fans to a FREE open practice on Saturday, Aug. 7, at Center Parc Stadium. 

This is your chance to get an exclusive look at the 2021 football squad that features 22 returning starters, 10 players named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference team and an offense that scored a school-record 33.3 points per game last season.

Admission is free and complimentary parking will be available in the Green Lot, directly across from Center Parc Stadium. Fans can enter the stadium at Gate 7.

Gates will open at 9 a.m., with the practice starting at approximately 10 a.m. Restrooms will be available on the 100 Level.

Kids who are members of Pounce's Kids Club can stop by Guest Services to check in for the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition and pick up a copy of the 2021 football poster signed by Coach Elliott as well as their 2021-22 Kids Club package if they have not done so yet.

Kick for your Tix! Fans who purchased 2020 season tickets before the April 1, 2020, deadline and did not get a chance to participate in kicking for free season tickets because of the COVID-19 pandemic will get an opportunity following the practice.

Ticket office representatives will be reaching out this week and next to PKC members as well as those fans who qualify to kick. 

Georgia State opens the 2021 season on Sept. 4, when a sellout is expected as the Panthers host Army at 12 noon in a nationally-televised game (ESPNU) at Center Parc Stadium. Season tickets are on sale now by calling 404-413-4160 or visiting GeorgiaStateSports.com.
