No one doubts the accuracy of that statement. However it just looks petty at this point. Those frickers beat our arse and kept up out of a BCS game. The stadium is the least of it.

IF LSU could win more games there, Tiger fans wouldn't complain as much. It's a much shorter trip to Little Rock than the journey to Fayetteville.
They've improved the stadium a lot since 1996. It was terrible then.

This is one of the most popular and passionate debate topics on Hogville, especially during the offseason.
No doubt the facilities are better in Fville and thats usually the top argument for playing all the games there. But there's a strong contigent that argues the War Memorial games are easier for more fans to travel to and better promotes UofA as "the" state university. The tailgating is said to be better too.
I tend to side with the latter. I agree the stadium is old and outdated. It definitely needs some clock maintenance (don't know WTF the deal is with that). However the stadium is very loud for it's size and it's a very different atmosphere than Fville.
Also AR is a small sparsely populated state. Recruiting is difficult and it's critical that we retain as much in-state talent as possible to stay competitive. Central AR is the most heavily populated area in the state so these games are good for recruiting exposure. A lot of kids can make these games that otherwise wouldn't be able to. DJ Williams came out of this area, so did Jake Bequette. Darren McFadden did as well.
