LET’S GO PEAY!
Located in Clarksville, Tennessee, known affectionately as “Stacheville,” Austin Peay State University is entering the new era for Governors athletics. As the newest members of the Atlantic Sun Conference and welcoming their new home, F&M Bank Arena, ASPU knew they needed to carry that growing energy into their practice gym, locker rooms, and player places.
F&M Bank Arena, with its 6,000-seat capacity, breaks the mold of a typical mid-major university’s arena. Valued at $115 million, it represents an investment in the future of APSU athletics and caters to the growing needs of the local community. Clarksville’s unwavering support and care for high school and transfer recruits in the wake of the transfer portal’s expansion make it an attractive destination. The arena stands as a testament to APSU’s commitment to athletic success and provides a vibrant and supportive environment for aspiring athletes.
