Larry Lacewell Locker Room
Larry Lacewell Locker Room. It has a familiar ring to it. In May 2004, A-State's Department of Athletics named the football locker room after one of the school's most beloved former head football coaches and athletic directors - Larry Lacewell. In a star-studded event, sports celebrities and fans came to honor and pay tribute to Lacewell, who has retired from the NFL's Dallas Cowboys organization and made his home in Jonesboro.
The event netted in excess of $60,000. In a surprise move which caught athletic administrators totally off guard, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced that the Cowboys' organization would match that number.
Now, the locker room is a nice compliment to the rest of the football complex, a place the players can call their own.
