Why do y’all still play there? I gotta feel like y’all are losing money to appease a small portion of the fanbase.
I went to the state game in Fayetteville a couple of years ago and loved that stadium and atmosphere. I couldn’t imagine state playing a game in Jackson.

The LR fans are like the vocal minority that screeches if you bring logic to the discussion. I do think the stadium was fun for games against LSU on Black Friday.

The ones we are trying to appease are the very elderly old money boosters. "By God, Arkansas should play in Little Rock because they've always played in Little Rock!"
There is arguably more money in NW Arkansas now, but folks like the Walton family prefer to spend their money on civic projects. Which, mind you, ain't a bad thing.
It isn't great for sports though. In time that will level out and sports donations up in the hills will go up. But right now we have to get a few more years out of those Little Rock boosters.
