Georgia Southern (GS) is launching a new game day experience for fans that will allow for additional seating and tailgating.
"We're always looking for new ways to innovate and elevate our game day experience," GS athletics Jared Benko. "With the addition of the YellaWood Deck, we feel that we are enhancing the environment at J.I. Clements Stadium in a big way. A special thanks goes out to YellaWood for its support of this unique project and we look forward to seeing Eagle Nation out on the deck enjoying great baseball and our great weather here in Statesboro."
The YellaWood Deck is situated behind the right-center field wall at J.I. Clements Stadium. It will officially open on April 14.
The new space will be standing-room only with a capacity of 125 people at a time. The space is first-come, first-serve with a deck general admission ticket.
Tickets for the YellaWood Deck will be $15 if purchased before game day, and $20 on game day. The deck will open two hours prior to the first pitch.
Behind the YellaWood Deck will be Pojo's Patio, a space, which will include five tables, five grills and other amenities set up for fans to bring their own food and beverages to enjoy the game with.
Fans wanting to use the patio must bring charcoal and clean up. These areas are also first-come, first-serve with a ticket.
Attendees will be given a wrist band that allows them to walk out of the deck area and through the main entrance of J.I. Clements Stadium during a game. Fans without a wristband will not be able to exit the main stadium seating areas and enter the YellaWood deck without a ticket to the deck.
There will be a clear bag exception in the YellaWood Deck for containers carrying food and beverages. Food items may be brought into the YellaWood Deck in coolers or disposable bags. Beverage items may be brought in a cooler.
Personal bags with no food or beverage brought into the YellaWood Deck must follow the clear bag policy. Any coolers, bags or containers carrying food and beverages admitted at the YellaWood gates must stay in the YellaWood area and will not be allowed past the checkpoint into the main gates of J.I. Clements Stadium.
Additional details for attending the Yellawood Outfield Deck:
- Ticket holders can bring in bottles of water, soft drinks and beer or seltzers (cans only; no glass).
- Drinks must fit into a cooler. All other alcohol is not permitted
- One cooler allowed per person and coolers will be checked by EPI staffing at the YellaWood Deck entrance
- Non-university chairs are not permitted and the YellaWood Deck is a standing room only space that will also have umbrellas
