What's the deal with War Memorial? A few years ago y'all won nearly every game there, but now you have several losses there over the last 3 yrs or so. Do y'all expect to keep games in Little Rock?


It is the GSD, Great Stadium Debate. Little Rock used to be the place Arkansas played all the big games because everyone in the state could get there and it was (at the time) a nicer stadium. A lot like Alabama playing some of their games at Legion Field.

Well that has changed in the last few decades, its much easier to get to NW Arkansas now and War Memorial has gone down while RRS is bigger and nicer then ever. Its tradition that we play games in Little Rock, and though our AD would dearly love to not play there, lets just say there is a lot of entrenched interests in keeping the Razorbacks playing at least one game a year there.

Bielema loathes playing in Little Rock, considering it a road game, and most of the players aren't fond of it either. Considering we seem to get a bumper crop of injuries on that field I can't really say I blame them.
