Nope, it's On Campus. Georgia State IS Downtown Atlanta. 40 buildings woven throughout the district's fabric. The stadium property is just a mile long extension from the epicenter. Were it not for a massive interchange and the state capitol building (the red marker) it would be contiguous. It's no less convenient than any other large urban campus. With the baseball stadium, convocation center/ Arena, additional classroom buildings, and dorms filling in the gaps, in 5 years it will be seamless between Downtown and Summerhill.

How at this point he didn't know this...

You not be entrusted with buying stock.

Sorry but I just know you took over a stadium that is not on campus and your campus is downtown.

Nope totally a walking distance from the student center to the GSU Stadium...which is why the Turner field purchase made sense...it integrated into our campus as if it was meant to be there.

It just doesn't seem like an on campus stadium when you look at walking under the interstate to get there but to be fair GSU just doesn't look like what I think of as a college campus. It may just be in my head but urban campuses are probably a harder sell to recruits and their families. Talking to people involved in recruiting over the years I would think that signing JC athletes and basketball recruits are the best bet for such a campus.

I am admittedly biased towards "college towns" after sharing a conference with UNT and the F_Us for years.
