History
Opened in 1992, the stadium replaced Henderson Stadium. Its name is derived from former Alcorn State Braves football player Jack Spinks.[3] The name was changed to the Marino Casem-Jack Spinks Memorial Stadium in 2011 after then Alcorn State president M. Christopher Brown II stated "Coach Casem helped Alcorn athletics increase both in stature and in reputation to become a nationally recognized university".[4]
