Arkansas and Ole Miss had a very odd rivalry for a long time in that a lot of the games... weren't played on campus. We tended to play y'all in Little Rock. Y'all tended to play us in Jackson.

Thankfully that has changed. I may joke that Oxford is a more upscale Tupelo but really it is a top 4 (IMHO) campus and town in the SEC. From what I have heard Ole Miss fans love Fayetteville.

Back then you often saw more games being played in larger cities to increase attendance and revenue.

Arkansas, for example, would often play two to three games a year in Little Rock.

The 2014 game between UGA and Arkansas was played in Little Rock.
