Personally it was a lot longer trip, but I really enjoyed the couple of days spent in Fayettville for the LSU game than in Little Rock. Better atmosphere (Dickson Street, etc.), vibe, and much nicer stadium. Hope this becomes a permanent move.

Had a blast out and about Thursday night, then at the game Friday. The Friday night crowd (I guess kids being back in town) was meh. Much younger crowd, frats, and rowdiness led to an early night but was appreciated on the drive home the next morning!

Agreed. I stayed in Ft Smith but just going to the actual campus for an SEC game feels 'right'. Plus the stadium was nice and atmosphere much better. Froze my arse off though.

I really enjoyed Fayetteville. When aTm inevitably takes over as our Thanksgiving game, I'll look forward to making a trip back to Fayetteville to truly experience a weekend that isn't taken away some by there being a holiday the day before.

I enjoyed Fayetteville as well. Have never been to a game in Little Rock so I cannot compare the two. The Game weekend atmosphere was likely a little subdued from the holiday but overall still a good time.

Ark fans at little rock are the biggest collection of degenerates I've ever been around.
Never going back to that dump.

Friday, day after thanksgiving is just bad day for a college footballmgame.

I kept wondering where every one parked and how does a vehicle get in and out of that area?

We came down to the game from KC and enjoyed it a lot. They need to move it to earlier in the year to really see what its like when the students are at the game. It was really cold and more freaking commercial breaks than I have ever seen !!!! Ridiculous. Where's the 2014 game? Fayetteville I hope.

I went up and thought that the fayetteville campus was absolutely beautiful..

only complaint was the lack of attendance because of thanksgiving break. I think that when the game is in little rock, there's more fanfare just bc the town is bigger.

...also, side note, surprisingly the students that I talked to said that they enjoyed little rock games because the tailgate scene is much better
