Estes Stadium-Wishlist for Fall 2025 and Beyond

Jmb3125 Beer Sales will come as soon as Conway becomes fully wet. Untill then, I’m not sure…

JoshUCA Yeah, originally, I liked the tailgate viewing from the stadium, but there is a ton of noise lost through that end. I don’t see it being bowled in unless UCA goes D1 FBS or attendance goes up.

Jmb3125

Yeah, not sure what the solution is. The tailgaters don’t really pay attention to the game anyway. They’re usually too busy watching the Razorbacks or some other game on their big screen TVs.

Regarding beer sales at athletic events, I wonder if they could designate the stadium and the BB arena as an “entertainment district” like they did for downtown… 😁

Mulerider

I’m sure they could, but would have to make sure that students know the rest of the campus is dry for the most part.

To be fair, I was one of those tailgaters that had ESPN while the rest of my group went inside. I usually had it on another FCS conference game though or the UCA game when it was going on.

We are just always going to be a state of Razorback fans.

Just figured out UCAfans.com is back online and I see a few of the old crew found it too.

Beer would be nice and better food. More purple circle and letterman’s club members too. Letterman’s club really burns me because it’s only $50 for a lifetime membership and our numbers are disgraceful. I’d also like to see more advertising in and around the stadium to show there’s someone out hustling money! I’m glad we hired a promotional guy in NW Arkansas. It’s about time.

Anyway, take a tour allbearsplus.com The site has been up about a year and keeps improving.

Xbear83 I feel like beer in some capacity is coming. Additionally, the school needs to lower the price on empty tailgate spots or let people rent them on a game by game basis as long as their is no demand. One day when my kids get older, we will be getting a spot for the season each year. They are too small right now for them to enjoy it.

Beer in the stadium is doable despite being in a dry county (Astate currently offers it at all their games on campus). I don’t know the entire process but essentially has to be approved by ABC I believe.

Thoughts on some type of Press Box expansion? Adding a second level with updated amenities I think would beneficial

Mulerider

RamblinRedWolf Why do we need a press box expansion? Focus on fans first!

RamblinRedWolf

Well, my thought process was you expand the press box and with that, create some sky boxes and maybe even lodge seating for the fans (and with that, generate more revenue)

Jmb3125

The stadium currently has 12 skybox suites on the east side.

Not sure if they stay full though. Anyone know the scoop on how often they are used?

JoshUCA

I’m pretty sure they are all “sold,” but not sure if they are always used for every game.

Mulerider

JoshUCA If this is true, this is sad.

Charlie76

I think that the university owns one of the boxes
but the other ones are privately owned…I’m not certain of this but that’s what I heard.

UCABEARS75

Call Matt Whiting. If one is available he’ll lease it to you.

Mulerider

UCABEARS75 I’m just an average “joe” my guy.

NewBearFan

They’re pretty nice. I’ve heard holds about 20 each suite. I’m pretty sure all of them are full most games. Plus the on field tents as well offer at least some “premium” seating.
