Prior to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium’s expansion in time for the 2001 season, Arkansas played as many, if not more games in Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium.
It was easier for fans all over the state to get to the capital city than it was Fayetteville. Once Interstate 49 (then known as I-540) was completed from Alma to Fayetteville, that was no longer an issue.
Since then, most season openers have been in Fayetteville. But going back to joining the SEC in 1992, a number of the year’s first games have been in War Memorial.
We take a look back today.
