Welcome to the 2020 Arkansas State Football season! Arkansas State has been approved by the Arkansas Department of Health to move forward with its plan to host football games at Centennial Bank Stadium. Updates and modifications for the
stadium seating plan that are being enacted for the 2020 season can be found on this page.
Â
Guidelines and suggestions for attending Arkansas State home football games this season:
GAME DAY PROCESS
- Due to distancing guidelines, seating on even rows will not be available. Three seats will be blocked between each seating "social bubble" (family and friends that you are comfortable sitting with at the game).
- In sections where the top row is even, that row will be seated and the two rows in front of it will be blocked off
- If your season tickets have not already been renewed, the renewal deadline is September 1 at 5:00 p.m. If you choose to pause your season tickets for the 2020 season, you will have the opportunity to renew your seats from last season (2019) for the 2021 season.
- Once season tickets have been renewed or purchased, the next step is to identify your social bubble, which can include up to 12 people.
- A physical season ticket this season will not be mailed. However, if you have parking, you will receive a physical parking pass. If interested in parking, please contact the Red Wolves Foundation at 870-972-2401.
- 2020 game day seating locations will be allocated based on physical distancing requirements on a game-by-game basis. Seating locations will be allocated as close to your original season ticket location as possible.
- Two (2) days prior to each home game day, please call 870-972-2401 during your specified time frame to complete your game day seating allocation (see call time periods below).
- EXAMPLE: If you have four (4) season tickets and another member of your social bubble has four (4) season tickets in the same section, only one (1) person will need to call to reserve eight (8) seats for the game.

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH PROCEDURAL CHANGES
- The Directive for Face Coverings requires face coverings to be worn in outdoor venues when there is not ample space to maintain 6-feet physical distancing. Additionally, due to the increased velocity of respiratory droplets produced during cheering/yelling, face coverings should be required at all times, including while inside the stadium. Face coverings may be removed for consumption of food or beverage, but should be put back on immediately after. Children under 10 years of age are exempt from wearing face coverings, but face coverings are strongly encouraged for children over two (2) years of age.
- Organized and promoted tailgating will not be permitted on University property.
- Food service and concessions will follow the Directive on Resuming Restaurant Dine-in Operations.
