I am sure this has been brought up a bunch, but why do yall play LSU in Little Rock instead of Fayetville?

Big Time Boosters... and So LSU fans and MSU fans can bitch about it. Also so many of the NWA and Cent. Ark fans can fight over which stadium is better.

My great grandfather took my grandfather to an Arkansas/LSU game in 1910 in Little Rock. This tradition wasn't something that was cooked up 25 years ago. In fact, Arkansas played several would-be SEC opponents in LR since the first decade of the 1900's.
But now, conference expansion and a home conference game with aTm in JerrahWorld at 5mil per game will hurt Little Rock's chances at keeping the LSU game going forward.
Personally, I think the LSU game should be rotated from LR to F'ville for a few years.

I believe one of the ooc games isn't officially a home game. but I can't see a reason for scheduling conference games anywhere other than Fayetteville.

What a great game to see! It's hard to describe to someone the magical energy we experienced that night unless they were actually there. Something was definitely in the air and it's something you never forget. (45-39) -10-28-89

Because we're fricking retarded.

We ARE the school that kept Houston Nutt around for a decade. Should come as no surprise.

We used to play half or more of our home games in Little Rock. We're down to just two a year but you can bet all hell would break loose if a decision was made to get rid of LR games completely.

War memorial in LR is a special place. Much like Death Valley at night. Miracles happen on Markham that don't happen in Fayetteville.

War Memorial with the tailgating on the golf course just makes the crowd "better". And they hardly ever lose there. Of course they play a cupcake, MSU and every other year LSU there. So only real team is LSU.


That game or the game against Kentuckey when they had Tim Couch were maybe the two loudest games ever in WMS. LSU games are always loud though

I used to hate Houston and Andre Ware. I actually think he's a pretty good announcer now and likable

It's also a shorter commute and they have a helipad for us to park our helicopters.
