Estes Stadium

Estes Stadium is a football facility in Conway, Arkansas, with seating for about 9,000 spectators arranged in multiple sections. The prominent west grandstand houses press boxes, locker rooms, training facilities, and coaching offices.

The facility opened on September 22, 1939, and was named after Dan Estes, who directed the university football program from 1915 to 1932. This naming honors his instrumental role in building the athletic program.

The stadium serves as the home field for the Central Arkansas Bears, a university team competing in NCAA athletics that plays all home games here.

The facility offers three concession stands with basic food options and provides free parking for attendees. Spectators are typically admitted about two hours before game time.

The playing surface features alternating purple and gray stripes, while a large 61 by 50 foot team logo sits prominently behind the south end zone. These striking visual elements are especially visible from above.
