JONESBORO -- Just over a hundred yards separate the old and new eras of Arkansas State University football.
Behind the south end zone stands the program's now-former operations facility, which opened in 2002. By today's standards in college football, it's old and outdated. Some of the meeting rooms inside it still bear "ASU Indians" on the wall. ASU switched its mascot to the Red Wolves 11 years ago.
But on the opposite side of Centennial Bank Stadium, behind the north end zone and adjacent to the team's indoor practice field, sits a new facility -- the Centennial Bank Athletics Operations Center, a beacon of what ASU's football program has grown into and what it's still trying to achieve.
