Thank God for Greg Sankey. Denying the university's request to play our Spring game in Little Rock is a no-brainer. The War Dump is a blight on our state/conference. It pains me to see our student athletes waste their talents in that eyesore. Hopefully, all Razorback football games will be moved away from Little Rock soon.

War Memorial Stadium is more than a facility and should be viewed as a part of the University of Arkansas campus.

no athletic advantage being gained by playing games there.


Looks like we're trying to have our cake and eat it too. Honestly, I have no dog in the hunt as I plan to never watch a Razorback football game in person for the foreseeable future.

I guess that makes me part of the problem, huh?

I personally don't know of anyone that wants to see the UA play in Little Rock, the facilities and the crowds are simply better in Fayetteville now.
However all that being said, there is no need to be a dick about WMS. It may be hard for some to believe, but WMS doesn't exist solely to host the Razorback football team, and for a venue of its age and size it will continue to have many uses for the people of Arkansas.

I love War Memorial games. frick you snowflakes who whine about how it’s not as “nice” as Fayetteville. It’s a fricking football game. I was there for both Miracle on Markhams. I was there for tMercy Knee. When Razorbacks have a decent squad and it’s a big game, the stadium is one of the toughest to play in. Ask Mike Leach and Lou Holtz. The only Fayetteville game that I’ve been to that compares to War Memorial at its best was 2010 Alabama. It’s a part of Arkansas football, it makes Arkansas football more accessible to fans throughout the state. Arkansas football is not just the northwest corner of the state and wine and cheese in skyboxes.
