Protesters set up what became known as "Tent City" next to the future Georgia State Stadium in early April. Georgia State University police removed tents and property from the encampment in early June.

GSU’s senior project manager, Brian Carroll, said the letters each weigh about 250 to 300 pounds.

The letters will be stored and repurposed at a later date, according to GSU.

While the signage will be different, the seats — which were also used during the 1996 Olympics — aren’t going anywhere, according to Carroll.

Renovations are "every bit of 80 percent" complete, he said. The stadium is on schedule to open for the school team's first home game in eight weeks.
