JONESBORO, Ark. (12/11/17) – The Arkansas State University Board of Trustees voted today to name A-State’s football field “Allison Field” and its future north end zone facility “Centennial Bank Athletics Operations Center” in recognition of a combined $10 million from the Johnny Allison family and Centennial Bank to the Red Wolves Foundation. In 2014, Allison, founder and chairman of Home BancShares, made a $5 million contribution to the Red Wolves Foundation that matches his latest personal gift commitment as the largest in A-State history.
“On behalf of our intercollegiate athletics department, I would like to thank the Allison family and Centennial Bank for their belief and support in us that we can be more than we are,” said A-State Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir.
