I must have missed this. Had to be fairly recently. I was holding out getting a hotel until the site was announced.

no it didnt. it specifically said "fayetteville or little rock" on both lsu and arkansas's website. i know because i went through all of this when the schedule was released.

i found something in late november so it has been a long time. i guess i missed it. it has not been since the schedule was announced though.

I believe they announced that UGA was their Little Rock game in November of last year.

You should probably just spend that weekend in Little Rock anyways. No need to add an extra 3 hours to the drive home after a bad loss.

i should have kept better tabs on it. that news slipped past me. could have had a hotel a long time ago. might get stuck with something subpar now.

Yeah, LSU was moved to a home game, Ms. State will remain at the neutral site, teams will be rotated the other year until the contract expires.

nope. in august it was tbd. both website said so. in fact i even tried to book a hotel and they wouldnt let me because the site of the game wasnt announced so they didnt know whether to charge me a regular rate or a gameday rate. i've already linked you an article in november where they made the announcement.

so its been 5 months. longer than i realized, but certainly not 2 years.

The thought behind the two years was that when we moved LSU to Fayetteville in '12 that it would become the permanent location for the game instead of Little Rock.

that was an assumption, not a definite.

The contract expires for WMS soon, All games were listed as TBD in the SEC portion of the schedule to give the LR fans the illusion that their stadium matters.

Bama and LSU will be on campus for the remainder of the contract with WMS.
