The No. 4 seed Arkansas Razorbacks will compete for a spot in the Final Four on Saturday when they face off against No. 2 seed Duke in the Elite 8 at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif.
Even though the Razorbacks are playing over 1,800 miles away from home, that does not mean that you can’t watch the game with thousands of your closest friends.
The University of Arkansas announced Friday that Bud Walton Arena will be open to the public on Saturday for a watch party for the Elite 8 game between Arkansas and Duke.
Here’s the release from Arkansas athletics describing the event:
The game will be shown on the video board and TVs around the arena. Doors to the arena will open at 6:30 p.m. with tipoff set for approximately 7:49 p.m. CT. The event is free and open to the public.
Fans are encouraged to park in Lots 56, 56B, 60 or any lot west of Razorback Road. No shuttle service will be provided. All students and fans will need to enter Bud Walton Arena through either the south, west or east entrances.
Members of the HogWild Band and Spirit Squads will be on hand for a pre-game pep rally and timeout performances. There will also be contests for University of Arkansas Students, commemorative posters for the first 500 fans in attendance, live trivia during halftime, a DJ to keep the energy high, and much more!
Hog Heaven inside Bud Walton Arena will be open for fans and a limited number of concession stands will also be open – no outside food or drinks will be allowed.
The Southeastern Conference’s Clear Bag Policy will be in place along with metal detectors entering the arena.
