I do agree that we should reduce capacity by installing chair backs in the lower bowl. The truth is that we should have bowled the stadium originally before we ever expanded up. The 500s should have been the last expansion we ever planned.
Could not agree more. When we expanded in 2000-2001, we should've lined top of the 100 sections -- specifically on the East side -- with the boxes and indoor/outdoor club, but not added the 500 section on the East side. We should've bowled in both the SEZ and NEZ with club seating and forgone installing any seats whatsoever on the top of the SEZ where those rickety erector bleachers were for too long.
Long story short, the entirety of what is currently 509-519 should have been scrapped and moved to the NEZ as a replication of the SEZ.

I flipped through the other instate school games after getting home from ours and they were worse attended than ours. jonesboro tech might have had 8k in their stadium and there is no reason for conway college to not have been sold out. The bears won the 5A Central conference championship and there might have been 4,000 there.
Seems like people in Arkansas aren't going to spend money on football.
It was also opening weekend of the gun deer season. That makes a big impact on attendance

It's tough for fans to travel Friday night then get up and travel again Saturday.

The damn weather was crazy, too.
I’m the first to criticize NWA fans, but last weekend just sucked, period.

All this GSD - NWA vs. Central Arkansas drama is nothing but message board crap.
The majority of us would get along if we met in person.
We all love the Hogs and want to win.
