JONESBORO, Ark. (4/14/16) – The Arkansas State football team will hold a 10:00 a.m. press conference Friday, April 15, inside the Centennial Bank Stadium press box introducing Sports Illustrated writer Thayer Evans and former A-State football standouts Demario Davis and Don Jones as “Celebrity Coaches” for the Red Wolves' annual Spring Game that night at 6:00 p.m.

The press conference is open to the public and will be held on the Woodard McAlister Family Club level of the stadium's Johnny Allison Tower. Evans will serve as the “Celebrity Head Coach” and operate on the offensive side of the ball, while Davis and Jones will act as “Celebrity Co-Head Coaches” for the defense.

The spring game, which is presented by JTown's Grill, is free and open to the public. The first 2,000 fans in attendance will receive an Arkansas State 2015 Sun Belt Conference championship poster. Fans can enter Centennial Bank Stadium on the east or west side.

Following a 4-4:50 p.m. period when kids can access the field to visit with players and coaches, the team will take the field to begin pregame drills.

Fans in attendance at the spring game could possibly appear on the official 2016 Arkansas State football poster by using a photo booth that will be located on the west concourse, so participants are encouraged to wear A-State colors and gear to have their picture taken.

Additionally, the A-State Athletics Department will conduct a “Select-A-Seat” promotion between 4-6:00 p.m., when current seats still available for the 2016 season will be marked for purchase. Fans can purchase season tickets for a location marked as “available” by removing the seat tag and following instructions on it.

Following the scrimmage, there will be an opportunity for fans to take the field for photos and autographs with the team and coaches.

Season tickets for the Red Wolves' 2016 football campaign, which includes six home games, are available for purchase. Arkansas State has strung together 11 consecutive years with a winning home record dating back to 2005 and has won 26 of its last 30 games at Centennial Bank Stadium.

Tickets may be purchased or renewed through the A-State Ticket Office, located at the Convocation Center's lower red entrance, in person, by phone at 870-972-2781 or online by clicking the “Tickets” link located at the top of the AStateRedWolves.com home page.
