Late Tuckerman couple leave gift for ASU stadium project

JONESBORO — A late Tuckerman couple has left a more than $650,000 gift to support expansion and upgrades of the Arkansas State University football stadium.

ASU announced Tuesday that the gift from Ezra and Verbeth Coe will help pay for new club and suite-level seating at Centennial Bank Stadium.

The Coes previously donated a bell in the Dean B. Ellis Library carillon and the H.E. Coe Endowment Trust, which generates scholarships for student-athletes, to Arkansas State.
