RE: AstAte unveils the look of the new press box, 9 Million donation, Mizzou staying...
I went ahead and updated the thread title to reflect the rest of the announcement
Final donation is 5 million dollars from a single individual, plus 4 million dollars from the company that owns the naming rights to the stadium. Total of 9 million dollars.
This money has enabled Arkansas State to keep the Missouri Game in Jonesboro. Construction will begin immediately to ensure the facility is ready in time.
44 restrooms and a brand new team store and concession area will also be added.

If the club seats sell out (suites and loge have or are right at it) the renovation will lock in $1 million in revenue per year for at least seven years.
For those who like to watch USA Today budget numbers, that million will not show up on our ticket sale reports, you pay the booster club, they give you a pass to go up there, premium seat revenue will not go into ticket sales reports.

Troy renovated a few years back, Texas State upgraded big time with the move, GaSo is doing a big upgrade, App St. has been upgrading incrementally for years, UL is upgrading and expanding... the many projects we have going on will allow us to keep the SBC overhaul going.
