Arkansas fans have hated playing there for years now...why do they still do it?
Because our AD is a pussy and continues to bend the knee to the Central Arkansas money.

Not.

But since you want to be all pissy, y'all suck so bad you couldn't even fill a 50k stadium, how does that feel? Second rate shite right there. You say it was hot, try not being a bitch.
There we go. Only took a couple of posts to get some honesty out of you. You may go now.

I think the last game is A state in 25.

I'm a Central Arkansas boy born and raised, (Searcy) and War Memorial can eat an entire bag of dicks. Play the damn games at home.

Jeff Long had the shite stopped in 2016.
When Hunter was hired he had the option to stop it, yet didn't.
We'll see what happens after 2024.

currently the ASU game is the last game we will play there and there is no current plan to extend the contract after that. There is a possibility of continuing to play ASU there yearly but again currently there is no plan to play them again

I mean, the stadium only holds like 51k, it was 100+ degrees against an opponent most had never heard of, 3 hours from campus.
An early start on opening day of dove season didn’t help either.

We only have two games in LR left.
UAPB next year then ASU. We will be done after that

I get the criticism that the stadium is older and hasn't been updated to match other SEC facilities. I don't get the criticism of the area the stadium is in. Anyone who thinks WMS is located in "the hood" or "the ghetto" clearly hasn't spent much time in urban areas.
The stadium is bordered to the west by the old golf course, to the south by the zoo, to the east by a hospital, and to the north by a neighborhood which, while older, I wouldn't consider to be "the hood" or "the ghetto."
Here are some links to homes currently listed for sale on Zillow within walking distance of the stadium:
* 6 minute walk to stadium
* 7 minute walk to stadium
* 8 minute walk to stadium
* 10 minute walk to stadium
Again, I get that the stadium is old and outdated, especially compared to the renovated stadium in Fayetteville, and that we lose a home game for recruiting visits by playing in LR, especially during the years when we're the "home" team against A&M in Dallas. Those are all valid reasons to stop playing in LR without fear mongering about the area the stadium is in.

We're going back. At least 2 more times.

I have known of this for over 2 years... Was in on the conversations.
It is the only way we should ever play at WMS again... But I prefer we didn't now!

I made the mistake of thinking I was going to stay in Little Rock one night. It was 1am and there were tons of blacks dudes just walking around the street who were likely up to no good. We ate the reservation and stayed somewhere else that night

Last time I was at Reynolds’s, it appeared Ark fans had boycotted it too…

Hog fans fall in 2 categories here.
Most don't want to play in LR anymore.
The fans that do want a LR game are tired of it being crap opponents.
Attendance will be fine in Fayetteville.

It was an FCS opponent in scorching temps on Labor Day weekend…

People from NWA don't really go to the game in Little Rock when they have one.
It's been that way for at least a decade.
