Arkansas State University Centennial Bank Stadium & North Endzone Expansion
The Story
Dual expansion projects in record time—that was the assignment. The first was a massive four-story expansion of the press box area that also included the addition of a new stadium entrance, ticket booth and team store area, plus a large (almost 12,000 sf) club level area with exclusive seating and another 20 suites. The modernized multi-level press box is complemented by coaching booths, broadcasting locations, camera areas and a video control booth. The second North Endzone expansion added a water feature, outdoor loge seating, a player tunnel, plus a brand new Football Operations Center containing an indoor practice field, weight rooms, lockers, medical centers, and staff offices.

From the client
“This project allows us to attract the top students in the country and
provide first-class services to develop our students on and off the playing
surfaces. Additionally, we’ve created a unique feature to pay homage
to the great state of Arkansas, the Natural State. We truly believe this
project can transform our Athletics Department’s National Brand.”
Terry MohajirA-State Athletic Director
“The west side Centennial Expansion brings an added element to Red Wolves Football games. The premium seating areas allow fans to watch football games in a new way, and also allow ASU to connect with fans and donors in new ways. We’ve had an overwhelming response.”
Adam HaukupRed Wolves Foundation Executive Director
“I know it’s one of the best facilities in the country, but that wasn’t the
purpose of it. I truly believe that if you’re trying to advocate and provide
the best services possible for your students, that happen to be athletes,
then you’re gonna come up with something really special, and that’s
what we did.”
Terry MohajirA-State Athletic Director
“The renovation to the North Endzone enhances our fan game day
experience, and assists in our ability to recruit and train the best
student-athletes to Arkansas State University. In constructing our new
premium seating options and team complex, we created an electric
atmosphere and enhanced the home field advantage."
