I'm a season-ticket holder and I haven't been to a game in Little Rock since 2005 or so.

I think the article is an off-season stoking of the anti-LR sentiment more than anything.

Our home stadium has 72k permanent seats. We'll have more than 72k for just about every game in Fayetteville regardless of opponent. Bama and LSU will be more like 75-76k.

Warren Stephens is the only reason we still play in Little Rock

With future expansion coming in Fayetteville, more fans, improved tailgating, on campus, new video board and atmosphere it's no wonder demand for Little Rock has drastically decreased. While skyboxes and club seats increase in Fayetteville.

Personally, I'm glad to see us moving away from the Rock regardless of the fun games I saw there. My family has generations of ticket holders yet we made a handleful of Little Rock games the past decade. Opponents are subpar, tack on driving and the metal bleachers don't do much for me. Not to mention its 3 hours from campus so I can't even visit my old stomping grounds.
