The addition of the Junell Center/Stephens Arena to the Angelo State University landscape has ushered in a new era in events programming for the campus and for the West Texas community served by the University.
The Junell Center/Stephens Arena provides a world-class setting for educational, cultural, social and athletic events for audiences and spectators numbering from 4,900 to 5,600. Fans are able to watch the Rambelles and the Rams “do their thing” on a gleaming wood court that also serves as a UIL playoff site for area public schools. Speaking engagements, Distinguished Lecture Series, ASU commencements, cultural and entertainment programs and exhibitions are just a few of the special programming activities that are staged for large audiences and groups in the Junell Center. The Auxiliary Court is available for smaller programs or as additional space for larger programs requiring its use in conjunction with the arena floor. This space also doubles as a practice site for the Rambelles and Rams and may also be used for classes and even dinners.
Other support spaces in the building include a warming kitchen for catering needs for banquets and other dining events and a “green room” for performers waiting to go on stage.
On the administrative side, the Junell Center/Stephens Arena is the home for the University’s athletic staff, offering a support complex with offices, conference rooms and classrooms-many of which are designed to serve multiple uses.
Downstairs adjacent to the arena floor are the dressing rooms for the Rambelle and Ram athletic teams. These are supported by a sports medicine center, equipment rooms, storage facilities and a laundry room.
A specially-appointed VIP Lounge is housed in the Junell Center. Looking out over the arena floor, the lounge is the site for special dinners, receptions and other programs requiring that extra “touch of class.”
Add two weight rooms that look out over the Multipurpose Sports Complex through gleaming glass walls and a Hall of Fame that heralds the accomplishments of ASU athletes through the ages to those entering the Junell Center…and you have it…one of the premier arena facilities in the state and nationally in all of NCAA Division II athletics.
