Congratulations on the upgrades!
Spring cleaning at "The Valley"
- Thread starter In_The_662
- Start date
Go Valley!!!According to the video, fans of MVSU football can expect a new turf football field and jumbotron added to Rice-Totten Stadium at Chuck Prophet Field, the 10,000-seat multi-purpose stadium that opened in 1958 as Magnolia Stadium and was renamed in 2000 in honor of former Mississippi Valley State football players Jerry Rice and Willie Totten, who set several NCAA Division I-AA records during their time in Itta Bena, MS in the 1980s.
In addition to the football upgrades, MVSU announced the resurfacing of its tennis courts, new signage, and school-colored metal panels for the Baseball/Softball pavilion. The Baseball/Softball pavilion will also get a roof overhang for rain protection, open-end bays for ventilation, and chainlink panels with vinyl baseball windscreen.
