Eagle Field (Georgia Southern)
The stadium was completed in 2005. On October 10, 2012, the first ever night soccer game was played at Eagle Field with newly installed lights with Georgia Southern playing Elon.
The stadium hosted the 2018 Sun Belt Conference Men's Soccer Tournament. The stadium has also served as the host institution for the Southern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships three times, most recently in 2013.
USL League One team Tormenta FC play at Eagle Field. In 2021, the team plans to move to a 5,300 seater soccer-specific stadium in Statesboro, which is currently under construction.
In 2024, the stadium was named after Charles "Bo" Pitts, a notable soccer player for Georgia.
