First game against Tennessee State on 8/31

I'd imagine they should fill the whole lower bowl. 22k is not out of reach for a school of 55k in downtown ATL with a brand new stadium.

I think 22k is doable for the first game, but as stated by multiple GSU posters, we have a bit of work to do before we can fill the place consistently.

RE: Turner Field to be sold to Georgia State University
I like the upper decks in right field. Those are good seats that could be used for big games later on. The view of the field from there doesn't look so bad. They may be a little far away from the action, but at least fans could see everything. Tarp all that for now, or just close it off.

Actually the club level. The 755 Club is now the University Club I believe.

Will the field be grass or turf? And when will it be installed?

The latest FieldTurf technology installed by Precision Turf. I believe its the same turf that Mercedes Benz Stadium is getting.

This is the first good photo of the area directly behind the visitor seating. I'm curious to see what happens here. It looks like it could be a nice courtyard

Are there suites just in the endzone or more along the sides in mezzanine area?
Stadium looks really nice.

Along sides in mezzanine. I believe there were close to 50. Some were converted to the new press box. And I believe Ted Turner's apartment was also converted to a suite now. So it might be about 40 or so now.

Echoing Panama, 3 suites were converted to be home/away coaches boxes (2) and the middle one is a press/broadcast box (1).

The additional space is definitely an interesting problem to have, but won't be solved until a later phase in the overall project. Phase I is just to be able to play football at the former Turner Field. All the bells and whistles and future development of the site will come later.
