FAYETTEVILLE — The John Tyson family has donated $6 million toward the renovation of Randal Tyson Track Center on the University of Arkansas campus.
The announcement of the donation came three weeks after the renovation and two other construction projects were approved by UA trustees. The UA board also approved the building of a baseball operations center adjacent to Baum Stadium and the building of a track & field operations center adjacent to John McDonnell Field, on the southeast lawn of Bud Walton Arena.
The renovations to the Tyson Center are the most complicated of the three projects.
