Different Fred Smith. This one is a newspaper man originally from Fort Smith Arkansas. He is the chairman of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation which was the major donor for the museum.

Default This Fred W Smith

Too darn many Smith's out there to keep track is the problem!

UA football center to be named after Fred W. Smith
Submitted by The City Wire Staff on Thu, 04/04/2013 - 7:17pm
On Thursday, the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees Building and Grounds committee unanimously recommended naming the football center currently being constructed on the Fayetteville campus as the Fred W. Smith Football Center.

The full Board of Trustees will formally vote on the committee’s recommendation on Friday.

According to a UA statement, Smith has played an instrumental role in the success of the University of Arkansas and Razorback Athletics and now the chairman of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

The 80,000 square-foot Fred W. Smith Football Center is scheduled to open in the summer of 2013. The facility, being constructed south of Donald W. Reynolds Stadium, will serve as the home of Razorback Football.

In October 2010, under Smith’s leadership, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation issued a lead $10 million challenge grant to help raise funds for the Football Center. This challenge was met in August 2011, paving the way for construction of the football center.

“Fred Smith has meant so much to our student-athletes, our athletic program, university and state through his leadership of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation and his personal philanthropy to Razorback Athletics,”
