Planned Renovation at The Palace

Probably only looking at losing 2500 to 3k of the upper deck seats. BWA does't sell out or fill out like it used to. Maybe only 1 or 2 games a year where it might.

All season tickets have been sold the past 3 years? Which means tickets are only available on the secondary market.

From what they showed yesterday I was quite disappointed. Seemed like some new suites and expanded student section and that was about it. Hopefully more to the plans BWA needs a lot of love approaching 30 years. Feels like the atmosphere has also declined significantly with the arena outside of 1 or 2 games a year.

First thing first is the restrooms.

Let me go on a rant…

Updated suites is fine and all, but some fans are going to get pushed out for the sake of almighty dollar because those who make $$$ feel they are too special or important and need to sit away from the commoners. Money is ruining sports.

I guarantee donation levels will rise with this too and you will end up having worse seats for more money. I’ll probably be watching from the couch so it seems.

Updated concourses, entrances, concessions, and bathrooms are most important to me. I feel like I am stuck in 1993 walking through the concourse, it’s also pretty dang ugly. If we are going to have urinals without shields then we might as well put the troughs back in so we speed up the process for everybody. Add TVs at urinals LOL. Make TVs through concourse bigger.

Although renovation needs to take place Bud isn’t going to be the same again.

I also think the store and gear promotion could be 10x better. The selection is sometimes wanting. Can we sell Jerseys with players names? Or past players? Or past players pro jerseys? Can we not advertise for certain items/sales, etc, during the game?… “During or after the game all white Razorback items will be 25% off for next weeks white out against…” “stop by the Razorback shop on your way out and receive 10% off on the polo shirt the coaching staff is wearing today” etc., etc. The stores throughout the concourse are definitely weak sauce.

Take the front facing hog off scoreboard. Actually take it off everything.

Are there no plans for a tunnel or sky walking bridge connecting to the basketball practice and operations facility? If they are not planning for either than that is a huge missed opportunity.

Slobber Hog. They really just don’t want to listen. We fans have voiced our opinion and desire for this far too long and pretty damn loudly. Just fricking do it already. Or at least think outside the box and maybe have a center logo that can change out and rotate between the standard hog, slobber hog, hog jumping through the A, etc.
The state outline is a little much and I don’t know a single person who thinks we should keep it. Let’s not copy cat Ole Miss. Keep it clean and simple. Less is sometimes more.

Also, who is selecting the songs for Muss’ mixtape? They blow, don’t pump anybody up, and are inappropriate half the time. Nobody wants to hear Cardi B or songs praising thug life. Give us choices all generations know and love. I heard a song the other day during a game talking about sucking dick. Children are in the damn stadium for love’s sake. Maybe have a little awareness. The speakers and music are way to loud before the game.

BWA overbuilt women's restrooms and underbuilt men's. There is always a line at the men's room.

The crowd is always at least 60/40 men.

The players?

They can listen to that crap on their headphones before and after the game.
