Excellently stated.
How much $$ do you lose in premium seating/game to play in WMS? Millions I would think?
The way to continue playing at War Memorial is to move all home games to Fayetteville, then have a private investment group(the city of Little Rock) "buy" your road games from other(Sun Belt level) teams and play those games in War Memorial...Surely there is enough of a $$ margin there for all involved to make this worthwhile? I think you've already done a little bit of this if I'm not mistaken.
FWIW, State has some fans working to put together a private investment group in attempt to "buy" our Sun Belt-level road games to move them to Jackson. Idea is still in it's infancy stages, so no clue whether or not it happens...

What are your ties to Arkansas, Crow?

The school pays WMS rent to play the games there.
ULM was on a contract that expired this year allowing them to claim the game against us every other year as a home game so their attendance average for home games would be high enough for them to remain on the FBS level.

Its the GSD. Its our thing and we all struggle with it. I am not from LR but I love the games because of the atmosphere and the golf course. DWI.

Idk. I haven't been there in a while. He's the one that hates that the UofA is in Fay and thinks that the university has screwed over the state. He's a dumbass

You can buy full season tickets which include Fay & LR home games.
You can buy just Fay home games
Or just LR games.

I mean, that really narrows it down.
All 16 of the stAte fans have accounts on HV, they try to troll the boards, but suck terrible at it even with careful tedious planning, can't just have it go awesome with spontaneous brilliance like hog fans achieve here... except Sugar/BTH he fricks that shite up every time.

Little Rock games cost more, but the increase in price is worth the warm pepsi and cold pizza and the comfort of knowing you are only blocks away from Asher and University.

The current contract for WMS ends in 2014. Starting with the 2015 season, all games will be played in Fayetteville.
If you're going to act like you know what you're talking about, at least get it correct,
Contract ends 2016 as of now.

Chicot Rd gives me even greater comfort.

Last time I was in Little Rock I got tricked and ended up at Discovery.

Last time I was in Little Rock I was on my way to somewhere else.
I can't believe we're having to play there, although I think it's supposed to be a 1 year thing from what I understand.
