The transplants that have money that are moving to NWA do not have one once of care for Arkansas sports. Very few and I don't expect them to.
But it shapes the whole area. As the population increases and the native Arkansans die off then people will care less because they didn't grow up watching the Razorbacks.
I have lived in this area for 21 years and seen the support especially in football go in a decline. It could be reasons from a losing culture to being priced out.

I don’t disagree. I’ve lived here for over 35 years and it’s sad that it’s not seen as an enhancement and attractive entertainment by the folks with money. The transplants are next level and at best root for a different team or are more excited about getting a minor league soccer stadium.

The enrollment keeps booming every year so hopefully more grads eventually start changing that a bit.
Joey Su'a moved here from California because his mom got a job for Walmart IIRC, same with Sategna I'm pretty sure. Though that doesn't really have to do with the fans. But it does show that the growth is helping us in some way.
I have noticed that when tourism is referenced it's more likely that you'll see the Naturals listed as an entertainment option even though Razorback baseball is way more popular here. To casual sports fans moving from other states I think there is a stigma on college vs. professional sports for sure.
