Looks like there's 200-300 seats available - combination of single seats, a patch in the NEZ and the visitors section. I'm guessing UGA didn't sell their allotment?

Probably not, I bet I can scoop one up in LR.

Don't buy in Fayetteville, they were adding a $35 fee ('donation') to the ticket price if you buy through UA ticket office.

Buy through WMS, no $35 add on.

I was told WMS always sell out against "decent opponents".

It isn't like LR is asked to sell a huge amount of tickets...

LR getting Toledo next year is what should happen going forward if we keep playing 1 down there after this latest contract runs out.

No need to play top 10 teams in that dump any longer

Not to start a GSD, but this is absolutely un-fricking-acceptable.

Top 10 marquee opponent coming to town with our first chance to get an SEC win since 2012 and we're not even sold out a few days before the game.

no SEC win in....

No sell outs in Fayetteville other than bama....

But, LR should definitely sell out without all of those wonderful students who always go no matter what...

Ahem...

So Little Rock fans are fair weather? Got it.

Oh you mean the stadium that holds 20k more fans, the attendance at which for a horrible game in a horrible year still doesn't come close to being exceeded by a WMS sellout? That one?

I've got a great fix for that -- play home games on campus. Ahem...


For once, can people who support the WMS side of the argument -- full disclosure, I used to be one -- just own up to its shortcomings and stop with the incessant bullshite excuses?

Yeah, just to appease you ... Sure! We will all jump upon YOUR flagship for the ride of a lifetime.

Does it include a Harley experience?

I honestly do not understand the hatred spewed at the LR games, never have, never will. This fan base just loves to be divided as if being 0fer in the SEC isn't enough.

But here ya go bud. I get the argument about $$$, Butts in the seats, Better schedule for NWA, Politics be damned. I get it, and I honestly don't care either way. I have season tix to both 8 at one, and 10 at the others. I pay my donation either way and enjoy the club experience at Fayetteville.

But please do not even attempt to explain the difference in game atmosphere, because there is no comparison. LR > Fayettenam period. Especially with the DJ and all. ROTFL! Pathetic.

Now please tell me that the powers in NWA are bringing the cattle gates with them to Little Rock. Don't know what I will ever do without seeing it live just one more time!

U WIN! WPS!

Oh give me a fricking break with this strawman crap. I simply pointed out obvious counterpoints to your ridiculous argument about attendance, records and students, all of which are as shallow as our back seven.

Oh please. I have season tickets at both stadiums and the atmosphere in RRS is worlds different than it was 10 years ago, but don't let that stop you from acting like this is 2004. By the way, DJ >>>>> losing to ULM.

And spare me the heavy handed, valedictory nonsense. I grew up in East Arkansas going to WMS games, but I'm objective enough to call a spade a spade and not suspend disbelief.

Feral...

The above wasn't truly meant for you, but all of those who seem to be ranting about this constantly.

Part of it is the historicity of the situation. This tweet says a lot about tradition, and it will soon be gone.

Per the UA media guide, it looks like the last year Arkansas didn't have a conference home game in LR before 2015 was …. 1947

For some it cant be soon enough, for others it is a tad sad. FWIW!

How a metro area with 724,385 +/- can't fill 53,955 seats, while a metro population of 500,000 +/- never fails to fill 60k+ seats.

it is what it is..

LR > Fayettenam in game day experience to me. And again, I go to both.

I now prefer going to Fayettenam with the family, better surroundings for kids, etc. But I sure miss the whole game day experience from when I was younger and dumber!

ohhh, Hi Dale, wondered when you would show up. Hows the kid? not easy raising little ones, but start the WPS as soon as possible man!

WPS all.

Quit bitching. The Alabama game didn't sell out until several days before the game either.

Well for starters, the University is located in Fayetteville. You're also making a faulty assumption by believing all those fans come from those metro areas. RRS would never sell out if Central Arkansas fans traveled as poorly as NWA fans.
