Is this strictly focusing on the endzone or will it cover other parts of the stadium too.

Like almost all. You can always spot one of our fans that's never been to a game elsewhere when they say our stadium is very loud. This will help that out now tremendously.

Other parts of the stadium.

There is an education center behnd the east side suites that they don't need anymore after building a new stand alone education center last season. They're going to take that space and build something similar to what A&M did I believe behind their suites.

They're also going to take a chunk of suites from that side and remove them to make "super suites".

New Jumbotron on the south side, improved dining options, refurbishing all of the suites and premium areas in the entire stadium and putting in new turf are some of the other things being done too.

Also the other stuff Hawgeye said above.

Razorback Stadium currently, is probably one of the nicest stadiums still in the SEC. Though, since the last renovation, it is a bit dated. The south end zone indoor club area needs a face lift. It is nice, but it is getting a bit dated. I would expect a complete remodel of all the indoor amenities.

For me, I would prefer a few more food options in the south indoor area. Also, I wouldn't mind a few more options for food in the upper deck where our Pig Heaven seats are. Food options alone is why I usually sit in our south club seats.

Depending on price though, I would definitely be interested in one of the new loge boxes they're building. Then maybe get rid of Pig Heaven seats and have seats in the south and north end zone.

It looks like the main focus of the new north end zone is to get more of the younger(25-40)age group interested in buying suites. The NEZ suites look to be a bit smaller, which means more affordable for young professionals. That is just what I have gathered.

The email from a few years ago sent out by the athletic department asked a lot of questions about what you would be interested in and what would be your price point. I am interested in seeing what these will be going for exactly and what the donation level will be.

Lolz at thinking your shite stadium is an endzone away from being anywhere near the top. That being said, you're definitely going to right route. Looks great.

It's a budget stadium that still hasn't been enclosed.

ya know dude, I usually enjoy your posts, and laugh at your humor.

For a state as small as Arkansas, DWRRS holds it own with many around the nation. Add in the other facilities and we are very highly rated. The weight and training facilities are awesome.

Chill...

Hope thet never enclose it. We got great scenery around our stadium, so I hope we always keep one end open to it.

Is it true that they gain a few seats because the architect didn't have to include anywhere to hang a banner?
