Estes Stadium is a 8,035-seat multi-purpose stadium in Conway, Arkansas. It is home to the Central Arkansas Bears football team, representing the University of Central Arkansas in the NCAA's Southland Conference. The facility opened in 1939.[1] In 2007, university President Lu Hardin announced that corporate sponsorship had been secured for the stadium from a local bank. As a result, the formal title of the stadium is First Security Field at Estes Stadium.[2]
The all-time attendance record, 12,620, was set November 3, 2007 vs. Nicholls State.[2]
On April 1, 2011, UCA announced plans to install a purple and grey striped football field for the 2011 season.[3]
