About the Story Arena<\/h2>\n
<\/a>The construction of the rodeo arena was a part of the Blue and Gold Vision, the University\u2019s first capital campaign to raise more than $100 million. The arena itself was made possible by the generous $2 million gift from Magnolia residents Therral and Jan Story, the largest single-donor gift in SAU\u2019s long history<\/a>.<\/p>\n
