Making my first trip up there. I've been to that high school stadium in Little Rock to see LSU vs Ar-Kansas, but never Fayetteville.

Any insight on parking and gameday experience, must do things or places to eat?

NWA is beautiful, went up there for the 2022 game and froze my arse off but the trip was fun. Atlas is a great spot to eat at too.

The vault has a great whiskey selection, Does is a killer meal, Dickson street isn't bad...not amazing but a good time. The nature scenery surrounding campus is some of the best if not the best in the conference.

The two trips are not comparable. Fayetteville is such a nice, little college town, especially with the weather getting nicer. The best thing that has happened to LSU road trips is getting rid of the biannual trip to Little Rock.

My last trip to Fayetteville was over 10 years ago. It was 20 degrees and LSU got shut out. It was still a great trip. I don't remember any specifics, but I just remember enjoying the walk around town.

Went to the game in 2018, stayed in the Bentonville area. Lots to see there, including the Crystal Bridges museum and a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Also the Walmart museum, if that floats your boat.

Be prepared for a cold night. It may not be terribly cold temperature wise, but the wind whips around that horseshoe stadium and will freeze your nuts off.

Fayetteville is one of my favorite SEC venues. Clean and beautiful. Fans have always been cool too. I know some think it’s cheesy, but calling the hogs in the stadium is pretty cool to experience.

That's good to hear at least.

My trip to Little Rock was in 2006 and Ar-Kansas thought they were going to beat us until Trindon said nuh uh. I've been to every SEC venue but Kentucky and South Carolina and that game in Little Rock was the worst I was treated by an opposing fanbase, with only UGA being maybe worse in 2004 (and they had every reason to hate us that year after we gave them their only 2 losses in 2003)

I fully expect it to be freezing in the stadium. Lows for Saturday night are in the mid 40's, and i'm sure it'll feel like it's 20.

This is probably the single dumbest post I have ever seen on the rant.

Not my favorite venue or town and the weather is typically bad when I've gone because we in the past have played them in November.

But one time we went a day early and kinda saw the sights on the outskirts and there were some really cool sites to see, with nice mountainous views.

It would be around the middle of the pack at best relative to the rest of the SEC as far as just Fayetteville and game day experience though. JMO.

It isn’t going to be that bad. lol

The forecast calls for sunny skies Saturday afternoon with a high of 75. Temperature at 6:00 pm for kickoff is clear skies and 65 degrees. Won’t dip below 60 degrees until the 4th quarter. Actually…. Perfect weather for a Fall football game!

I'm a UA grad that's been a hog fan since '96, and even I think your description of the hog call is fair. That said, the Ole Miss vs LSU game this past Saturday was the first time I've ever stepped foot in your stadium, and that shite was insane!

Living in Arkansas I would say this isn’t a dumb post. Every fan base has its bad fans, but Arkansas fans always have a chip on their shoulder. They play this victim mentality.

I could walk around Baton Rouge and LSUs campus in an Arkansas shirt and not hear much of anything; and I did. You wear LSU here year round and they go out of their way to talk shite. There aren’t many fan bases out there I’d say are worse that I’ve interacted with.
