FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas has signed an amendment to an existing agreement with the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism to bring two additional Razorback football games to Central Arkansas in future seasons and extend the overall agreement through the 2025 season.
Future seasons will see War Memorial Stadium play home to in-state matchups with UAPB in 2021 (October 23, 2021) and 2024 (August 31, 2024) and Arkansas State in 2025 (September 6, 2025). Arkansas will also play Western Carolina (September 2, 2023) at War Memorial Stadium in the 2023 season. As part of the amendment, previously scheduled games against Missouri will be moved to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.

“We are grateful to the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism and War Memorial Stadium for working with us to be able to host some historic in-state matchups at War Memorial Stadium, while also allowing us to host Southeastern Conference games on our campus,” Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “The Razorback program belongs to our entire state and as we have shown in many of our sports, it is important that we continue to maintain a presence in Central Arkansas. It is also essential we provide our coaching staff the opportunity to showcase our campus during SEC games to potential student-athletes.”

“We value our partnership with the University of Arkansas and Razorback Football, and want to contribute to the overall success of the program,” Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism Secretary Stacy Hurst said. “Including U of A vs. UAPB and U of A vs. Arkansas State games beginning this year and through 2025 will present some exciting intrastate competition. We look forward to showcasing an improved venue and to welcoming people from across the state and beyond to historic War Memorial Stadium.”
In addition to the games set for War Memorial Stadium, Arkansas announced it has added a non-conference game with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in Fayetteville on September 14, 2024.

I read this and I am looking forward to 2025 to experience this contest between in state teams at the greatest sports venue in the country.

Edit: and if you can’t tell that is hogfaninconway in the car on his way to the game.

Glad we are playing state. Tailgating will be a good time. State is good people

Wish we could just boot Missouri off the schedule completely. Playing them just does nothing for me.

Closer to the dream schedule:

8 SEC games - A&M leaves Jerryworld and trade Scar for Missouri
one Texas OOC (this can be Jerryworld every few years)
one cream puff in-state
stAte (LR)
Rotate- OU/OSU/Memphis/Tulsa

Missouri fans have to be dancing in the streets. They were not thrilled with having to replace Fayetteville with Little Rock.

We'll probably be breaking in a first year coach and have a roster full of freshmen and walk-ons while ASU comes into that game with a starting 22 of all redshirt seniors, because we have the worst luck of any college football program I've ever seen.

If we lose that game, that just might be it for me in terms of my Razorback and college football fandom. After the failed coaches, the losing streaks and hitting rock bottom, this would truly be the bridge too far.

Here is Wally Hall’s take. For the masses on this board who have an affinity for Mr. Hall I thought it was worth sharing. LINK

This should have happened long ago and is a fitting legacy for the LR games. Hopefully we are making them pay for the stadium rental and not paying them at all.

This is why we will never do anything in football ever. The university is ran by clowns.
