Beginning this football season, student groups may reserve one of four available student skyboxes located atop the south end zone of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Each skybox will include a reserved area with a tent, carpeted flooring, lounge furniture, two big screen TVs and full sports oriented cable package. In addition, a section of bench seating will be reserved exclusively for Skybox holders.

Cool idea

Alabama has block seating for student organizations at football games (mostly fraternities), but nothing like a skybox.

seemed like a novel idea, i had never heard of it. I was curious if it was new or if i was behind in the times

Student attendancce has slipped and the number 1 reason given was bad cell service. Funneling them together would be easier to let the kids play on their phones i guess

Based upon student feedback, the University of Arkansas Athletics Department has changed the layout and format of the Razorback Rooftop (upper South End Zone) area at the Donald W. Reynold Razorback Stadium. During the 2015 season, student groups will be able to reserve the space within the new named Student Skyboxes for each home game.

Only thread today with someone bragging about something about their football program that's actually cool? I vote Arky wins this day of the offseason.

This isn't a real enlosed skybox.

Its the top of the end zone area, where we used to put overflow bleachers. Now, they're blocking it off, pimping it out with some TVs and letting student organizations (frats) reserve a section. Sounds pretty chill.

Its up on this top area. They now put minor seating and big tents up there and call it student skyboxes.

Can't sell them so they offer them to poor students. Very cute idea.

It is allowed. Just, you know, sneak it in and be all covert about it. Haven't the visiting LSU fans taught y'all anything???

I can't remember a game from when I was a student when alcohol wasn't involved.

lets see how long it takes before the students frick it up. Somebody will try smoking weed, getting laid or getting plastered out of their minds in the skybox and will frick this up.

Watch. If not, the major kudos to the hogs as that is a great idea.

I have to say that this is awesome. Instead of pandering to cooperate groups and/ or the million dollar donors Arkansas in a small token albeit a nobel gesture is honoring the student body...and that is great.

Goodonya Arkansas. All other schools should take note. BRAVO!
