Arkansas State Plans to Add Waterfalls in Renovated Football Stadium
Nothing embodies college football quite like a tropical resort.
Arkansas State unveiled designs to revamp Centennial Bank Stadium's north end zone. The elaborate renderings include waterfalls on both sides.
According to the school's site, the renovations will also feature a new weight room, locker room, players' lounge and "team-theater meeting area." The estimated price and completion date have yet to be announced, as the board of trustees must approve the final plan.
"The vision is very clear for us," athletics director Terry Mohajir said in a statement. "We're building an experience in order to help fund this opportunity to enhance the perception of our athletics program. This project will allow us to attract the top students in the country and provide first-class services to develop our students on and off the playing surfaces."
The Red Wolves are not the first program to give the fall and winter sport a summer vibe. UCF proposed building a beach club in its new stadium two years ago. Arkansas State is hardly a flashy or prestigious school, so this grand blueprint is likely an attempt to put the program on the map.
