Am I blind or does that say there is only one game (LSU) in Little Rock?

From the official UA press release:
quote:

five in Fayetteville and two in Little Rock, with specific home game locations to be announced at a later date.

I think FB Schedules was just guessing...

i like this schedule.

I really like this schedule.

Opening up with Auburn in nationally televised game while having Bama and LSU during the fall, in the Ozark's, could not be better.

Make Missouri travel to Little Rock to end the year and I'll love this schedule.

I really hope they send Mizzou to LR. That would be funny to me for some reason.

Someone needs to just make a generic:

BEAT
THE
TIGERS

T-shirt. You could wear it so many times per year for all sports. We have to be the only school who will be playing Tigers three times every single year in football.

I like this if not for any other reason to make their closest game 4 hours further away.

Same reason I never understood putting LSU in LR making it easier for their fans. Kinda the same with the MS schools, but who else do you put there?

Ideally the low attendance rent-a-wins like FCS/Sunbelt type schools should be the only games played there.

I like opening the season with an SEC opponent. People will watch it since most first week games are rent-a-wins

I'm leery, the last time Arkansas didn't open with a rent-a-win?

SC happened...

But its just Auburn so no worries.

From @jefflongUA re: '14 schedule. No designation of LR/Fay games yet. He wants Bret Bielema to experience a War Memorial game first

Sounds like all games will be in Fayetteville soon.

It's only a matter of time. It's not a good sign when stadium reps are on the radio begging people to buy tickets. I used to like the LR games, but the golf course has turned into white trash central.

"turned into"? hasn't it been like that for over a decade? i thought that was supposed to be part of its appeal

like, take your family to war memorial, see a football game and a natty light-fueled fistfight for the price of one ticket.

All of my "Little Rock is the greatest thing in the universe" joking aside, I can't wait for this to happen.

Big 10 football. Luckily we should have slowed our players down enough by the end of '14 to play the game like it was meant to be played.

Looking forward to this. Hopefully our new QB, whoever it is, has settled in nicely by the time our game rolls around.

The thing is the LR side of the debate will say its because they don't play any good teams in LR.

Its a sense of entitlement that I've never understood, simple logic tells you the marquee home games should be played in Fayetteville so that 20,000 additional people can watch the game and the school can profit from the additional revenue an audience of that size will produce. (Concession sales, ticket sales, merch sales, etc).
