JONESBORO, Ark. (6/21/2011) —Great seats remain available for fans
wishing to purchase season tickets for the 2011 Arkansas State Red Wolves
football season.
The Red Wolves will play six home games,
including non-conference matchups against long-time rival Memphis and in-state
foe Central Arkansas, as part of its 2011 schedule that also features a
nationally-televised game at ASU Stadium. The Red Wolves will host Florida
International Oct. 18 on ESPN2.
Season ticket sales are on a record pace as the excitement builds
for the Red Wolves' first season under the direction of new head coach Hugh
Freeze, and fans are encouraged to take advantage of the numerous season ticket
choices offered by ASU.
General admission seats are priced at just
$75, while reserved bench seats are available for $90 and chair-back seats
start at $145. The best deal in town is
the family plan, available for only $180 and includes four tickets to all six
home games, a savings of over $120.
“The excitement for the upcoming season is
unprecedented,” said Gleen Hart, Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and
Promotions. “Momentum is already building for the 2011 football season, and
A-State fans are encouraged to be a part of history when the Red Wolves take
the field under the direction of Coach Freeze.
We have what is arguably the best home schedule in ASU history, and fans
won't want to miss any of the action on tap this season at ASU Stadium.”
The Red Wolves' home opener is scheduled for Sept. 10 against
Memphis. Arkansas State will host the
Tigers in the 56th meeting between the schools since 1914. Central Arkansas is scheduled to visit
Jonesboro Sept. 24 in the 24th meeting between the two schools. Three of the top crowds in ASU Stadium
history were on hand for games against Memphis and UCA. The crowd of 29,465 for the 1997 Central
Arkansas contest is the second-largest in ASU Stadium history, behind
only the 30,427 in attendance for the 2004 ASU-Memphis game. The crowd of
25,112 for the 1996 ASU-UCA game is the sixth-largest in school history.
Following the nationally-televised game against FIU Oct. 18, the
Red Wolves will host North Texas Oct. 29 and Louisiana-Lafayette Nov. 12 before
wrapping up the regular season by playing host to Troy Dec. 3.
