Arkansas in Little Rock (Trashiest fans anywhere. Ironically, the fans in Fayetteville are some of the best.)


That is because you get more townies in Little Rock.

Nobody is particularly worried about drunk frat boys and middle age dudes attending games in Fayetteville. They are pretty harmless.

It is my experience that the larger the town you play in... the more townies are available to get involved with harassing the fans of the other team.

If you can't take a little trash talk, or fans being passionate about their own home team, then traveling to away games may not be for you. And this is coming from someone that has been to 2/3 of the SEC stadiums. However, anyone putting their hands on people, throwing things, dumping food/drink on them, cussing people's kids, that's going to far. The only time I've ever seen all of the above happen was in Little Rock. People give LSU fans a hard time because they don't like getting Tigerbaited, but if you'd take that stick out of your arse, those same people Tigerbaiting you would probably give you a beer, feed you, and still tell you they're glad you came to witness your team lose in the best place on Earth.

I went to the Ole Miss game back in 2018.

Never again going back.

They really let that stadium go down.

Some of the Arkansas fans weren't season ticket holders going to these games and were more interested in drinking whiskey and fighting.

I don't know anybody from Fayetteville area who bothers to go to Little Rock games the past 10 years or so. You mostly get central and eastern Arkansas people, and a shitload of Little Rock locals with no ties whatsoever to the university.

There are some very fine people in that group, but enough bad-apples to make it no bueno.

This is the first time ever I've seen inhabitants of the 'hood referred to as "townies." Interesting.
