Looks nice but it looks odd with it not being centered. What were they thinking?



This is the University's explanation: "Every college football stadium has its signature architectural focal point. The look-in opening on the northeast corner of DWRRS is its most recognizable vantage point, allowing Arkansans throughout the years to peer onto the field to see the Razorback at midfield and the illuminated Home of the Razorbacks display. The renovation project will preserve and build upon this iconic feature as a nod toward the traditions of Razorback Football."


It's a place people have always gathered on the hillside to view games. My tailgate is right where the red tent is pictured here so I am happy it is staying this way.

Yeah, some of our fans actually hate the idea of leaving it off-center like that, but I like it.

The hillside view into the stadium is cool. At the street uphill north of the stadium, you're about even with the top of the lower deck. It's a great view.

Looks great to me, plusit allows y'all to keep a stadium tradition.
Every stadium is unique and has its own history and focal points.
Sorta like Tiger Stadium with it's Roman Arches on the NEZ....
