You're going to have all the Arky fans saying Arky and everyone else saying Oxford for like 5 pages.

Give me Fayetteville over Oxford any day. Personally, I hated the grove. The strip of bars and restaurants down the hill at Arkansas was pretty nice. Had a good time at the Hog Haus before the game.

Go to Fayeteville

This is your last chance to come here for a while. The game in 2014 will be played in CS and after that it's in Dallas


This. Oxford may have a better football and tailgating environment; but you can trip to Oxford every other year.

With that being said, I'm going to the LSU and Ole Miss games this year. If I didn't know friends that are accommodating me in Oxford and BR, I would choose to go to Arky this season

I'll go with Fayetteville as well. If you want to pretend like you're 18 again at a Frat Party, go to Oxford. If you want something with a little more personality, go to Fayetteville.

I've never been to Arkansas.

That said, Ole Miss is better because I freaking love going there. I have a blast every time, I've even been a handful of times non-sports related.

Just don't shoot off a fire extinguisher in the apartments near the bars. I went there for an LSU game one year and my buddy did this. Fire alarms went off and 2 of the bars had to empty out. Bad news for 2 guys and a girl walking the streets covered in white extinguisher residue.

Fayetteville, Oxford's game day experience is overrated.

I'd also check the AMP website. At some point, ZZ Top, Easton Corbin, and Lynard Skynard will be here but I don't know the dates.

Hank Jr was here opening weekend last year.

I'd also check George's website to see who they have at their place.

That's only if you like music.

Exactly. I enjoyed Ole Miss a lot and will be going back this year with other old farts, but if you have any desire to get to Fayetteville, you need to jump on it this year.

I've never visited Arkansas so I don't know how it is over there but it would be a shame for anyone to miss out on the Groove

Arkansas is really awesome, I love Fayetteville. I'd like to be bias an say Ole Miss because I don't care what the others say our tailgating is better than theirs but the whole experience plus the little nugget about not being able to go for another game I would say go to Fayettechill then comes see us in two years

Keep in mind, the people saying Ole Miss is so great are douchey drunk frat types. If you don't have your head up your arse, Fayetteville is much better.

Uhhhh, no. People that drink a bunch of cheap beer and start dropping N bombs are not fun to be around.

I was pretty let down with the aTm turnout last year. Although I do realize that is quite a trip but still, it was their first SEC road game.


I kind of agree with what the Ark fans are saying though. Dont get me wrong, Oxford is my city and will be frickin rocking that weekend. But if I am not mistaken yall come here in 2014 too.

Go to fayetteville, whip the hogs arse up and down the field, and go claim some womenz from Dickson Street. It'll be fun.



Or you can come watch Johan swallow his mouthpiece.


The choice is yours.

On any normal year honestly I'd say Oxford. But as has been mentioned, this is your last chance to come to Fayetteville for a long time. Starting in 2014 we play in Jerry World for the next 300 years. You'll be able to go to Oxford again in 2015 most likely
