re: Why does Arkansas still play games in Little Rock?

As I have stated, with so many fans feeling this way in really surprised they have kept playing there but I know there are reasons for it and I suppose the fans bitching about it still go to the game so I guess the AD doesn't really care

Memphis is closer to Fayetteville, Ark by over an hour than it is to Knoxville, Tenn. Therefore, the driving excuse is just an excuse plus in today's world is about the population to proximity when referencing the vast majority of the stadium population.

The days playing in Little Rock are numbered. It's not a coincidence as Fayetteville is expanding to 83,000+ around the same year the contract is up on Little Rock games.

However, they can keep 1 game a year there as far as I'm concerned but the rest if not all will be moved to the Hill. It is true that Little Rock and it's money basically built the Arkansas program as it was a direct highway to Memphis and Dallas. However, times have changed and ASU can have Little Rock for games to help grow their marketing if they so wish.
