I think it was absolutely necessary for a few reasons. It wasn’t that long ago that WM was bigger, had lights (Fayetteville didn’t), central to the state and not up the pig trail. It’s just run it’s course, hope the ASU game is the finale.

It was necessary because then AD John Barnhill had the stadium built as travel to Fayetteville was very difficult.

War Memorial was crucial at that time because Arkansas in the early parts of the 20th century didn't follow the Razorbacks.


You only had radio and the St. Louis Cardinals had a bigger following.
