The NWA/ LR trolling is so tiresome. I've never understood it. I love both areas. I love going to games in both places. I cannot imagine not going to either location purely on principle. Plenty of people on both sides of the fence cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I think this compromise and the timing of it is brilliant. The money issue seems weird to me, though. WMS giving up a game and then not charging rent the last two years doesn't add up with the $1.2M payment, which makes it seem like a buyout.

I think it's possible that WMS is floating a balloon to see how alcohol sales affect its viability. That may help get it a bowl game. That may help ASU draw better. One big Hog game and an ASU game and a bowl game (or whatever) may help it hang on.

This compromise is probably a death knell, but I don't think WMS is necessarily throwing in the towel. Until the last game, I'll continue to enjoy the unique experience. Fayetteville is awesome and I love games in RRS, but I still have a terrific time on Gamedays in Little Rock.

I agree with Baker. Personally I think the Fayetteville game day experience is better than Little Rock, but I like the throwback feel of War Memorial too.
