Yes, more redneck than Fayetteville


I guess I was mistaken, I thought LR was ghetto? I don't mind redneck fanbases, I like em actually. But that's basically the opposite of the impression I had of the place.

I've driven through the state before, once is enough. I'd much rather save time than enjoy scenery.

The area around WMS is pretty ghetto but the fanbase that goes to the games is very redneck

There are areas around Little Rock that are ghetto, white trash, poor, etc.. etc.. just like any city. There are undesireables wherever you go. I've ran into PLENTY of people I wouldn't dare shake the hand of w/o wearing gloves that can be thrown away in rural NWA.

If you're not some pretentious a-hole that thinks like you're a Highland Parker, you'll be just fine and assuming you guys thrash our asses, you will have a good time.

Parts of it are, but those people don't go to football games. Just avoid Roosevelt and Asher and you won't experience much ghetto. The stadium is in Midtown and that's not a bad area.

Like any city of size, Little Rock does have it's lower income, higher crime area's. You shouldn't have any problems though, unless you just go looking for it. Stay north of I-630 and you should be fine.
Little Rock does have more ethnic diversity than NWA, due to it being the center of commerce and government.
