I rather enjoy my Soybean/Rice fields. Great for before/after the LSU game as duck season comes in. Even took a few hunters up to watch the game.

Arky vs LSU in LR

Try again the math add's out, they are exactly the same in ratio of attendance, stadium size, fan base vs population.
You should do the math again, because it doesn't.
Also, those schools are close to state population majority and their main recruiting areas.
Do the Math, per competition of pro teams in each state and population, Arkansas should have more fans per capita regardless of location.
why play in two stadiums when no one else does?

Why don't you research the reasons why the games were first played in Little Rock, then why they continued and see how many of the reasons are still valid...
I'll help you out, WMS is no longer a bigger stadium than DWR-RS.
It isn't as simple as money made or location. At first it was, expand the "brand" and make more money, this was valid until the brand was well established as the brand in the state way back in the 70s and the money issue went away in the 80s, yet the games still continue for other reasons...
You are trying to over-simplify the reasoning to the point where I would expect you to describe diplomacy as "meeting people, talking to people, and making friends"...

Are you serious right now? Stay on topic! NFL has nothing to do with Little Rock vs Fayetteville!
Nor does NFL have anything to do with NCAA.

Duck Gumbo Cookoff followed by a trip to LSU game. (Be sure to have a DD to the game)
I would never make the LSU game if it was in Fay. Never been to BR for the game either

aTm doesn't have female cheerleaders, should we get rid of ours?
Texas and OU play every year in a run-down stadium, I'm sure the schools could make more money by playing home and home, same for Georgia and Florida, etc.
Why did Notre Dame play "home" games in San Antonio and Japan? Why did Northwestern play in Wrigley? How does the posi-traction in a Plymouth work?

No need, Family friends of Frank B. and I read his book while living in NYC.
SWC almost kicked out Arkansas because no one could even drive to Fayetteville in the 1950's let alone the 1990's, ha ha.
We played in Little Rock for 2 reasons.
1. Increase fan support and unify the state.
2. Easy travel for all fans, while unifying the fan base, and road team accessible.
3. The SWC threatened.
It's in his book, read it.

Um.. Arkansas makes $5 million alone playing TAMU in Dallas each year. Which is more than Fayetteville which is in the $4.3 Million per game ball park.
Little Rock, well, ha.. Get skyboxes before even joining this debate.

Damien Williams hasn't caught much in the NFL, but we can count him. Still, the point is that our most important areas for recruiting are central and southern AR. That's why it is relevant, Sun. Playing in LR gives us an advantage.

SunHog and his Nelli

I'm already stated that we made more per game by playing in Arlington than at "home" and asked if we should play every "home" game in Arlington, to no reply...

No.
1 Game in Big D the rest on the Hill. This isn't 1987 anymore with WMS having like sized stadium.

We picked up several good linemen and a QB in the past recruiting class from NWA...
We will see in a few years how it cycles out as there was a time when if you were good enough to start for LR-Central you were good enough to play college ball, somewhere, now? Not so much...

Makes financial sense. Let's do it.
