The Arkansas State University board of trustees Monday unanimously approved a ground-lease agreement that permits the start of a $29 million north end zone expansion project at Centennial Bank Stadium, which will be paid for with funds from the Red Wolves Foundation.
The project includes a 66,553-square-foot athletics facility -- with a weight room, training and rehabilitation area, academic rooms, and a team theater-seating room -- and premium seating in the north end zone.
The premium seating will include 150 loge boxes and 68 premium seats, and there will be landscape features that "pay homage to the state of Arkansas," such as waterfalls.
