San Marcos, Texas - Texas State Athletics received a generous gift of $250,000 from entrepreneurs and owners of AquaLand Development, Mark and Linda Smith, for the construction of a new ticket office inside the North Side Complex at Bobcat Stadium.
Bobcat Stadium is currently under renovation to add 14,000 seats as well as restrooms, concession stands, novelty stands and an apparel store. The North End Zone Complex will also include the main tickets office and a state of the art Linda Gregg Fields Strutters Gallery. After completion, the stadium capacity will be 30,000 for when Texas State plays host to Texas Tech on September 8, 2012.
“Mark is prime example of a Texas State alum who has been away from campus for years and is now getting back involved in helping us see our vision through,” Texas State athletic director Larry Teis said. “Gifts of this size truly make an impact in the lives of our student-athletes and continue to help us prepare for the future. We are so thankful for Mark and Linda's commitment to our program.”
“We are extremely excited about the opportunity to help support Texas State University and the move to the FBS,” Mark Smith said. “This university has meant so much to us over the years and has made a large impact on my life. We are very fortunate to be in a position to give back and would like to thank Jerry and Linda Fields for helping us reconnect with Texas State Athletics. This means a lot to Linda and me.”
University President Denise Trauth said, "Texas State's move into the ranks of FBS universities is a source of great pride for our alumni, and Mark and Linda's generous gift provides concrete evidence of Bobcat Pride. We appreciate their vote of confidence in the Bobcat athletics program and Texas State."
Through 50 combined years of experience, Austin-based AquaLand Development has established relationships with clients who have helped branch into the acquisition and development of land in South and Central Texas, including the Development of the Lakeway Medical Center.
AquaLand Development is also active in the construction of 26 single-family homes in Eagle Ford Shale and working towards transforming the historic Lone Star Brewery in Downtown San Antonio into a multi-family/mixed-use development. The project will restore the grand Artesian Spring fed pool, revive the famous beer garden and bring the feel and ambiance back to the once fabled site.
