Arkansas fans kind of suck.

Obviously, there are some nice ones. But they are kind of redneck-ish, and very delusional.

They talk a lot of shite, too.

I do not like their university, their fans, or their state.


Fayetteville is really pretty, though.

It's beautiful up there. Much better than the rest of the state.

Dress warm. I've gone up there once, but to Little Rock, and it was cold and drizzled throughout the whole game. I hated it in LR. Never been to the campus though.

If you can't find the stadium, roll down the windows and follow the banjo music.

Tailgating was non-existent was I went there 2 years ago. We were in a parking lot away from the stadium and we were the only ones there for as far as the eye could see
There is a spot near the stadium that was tailgating tho, maybe a 100 people. Bleachers were so cold, I couldn't sit. Too cold for me.
Was gonna go this year but it wasn't worth it. 5/10 experience, imo

Expect to see overalls without undershirts. Regardless of weather.

Fayetteville/NWA is nice but I find their campus to be average. Check out Old Main and their front lawn.

Dickson Street is adjacent to campus where you'll find some good restaurants & bars. Tailgating basically sucks. "The Pit" is a parking lot north of DRS that is okay, that's where I'll be. They have parking lots lining Razorback Rd where people tailgate but don't expect anything like LSU/UGA/Bama/etc.

Overall, it's a solid trip if you haven't made it.

Dickson Street is the best strip of bars, restaurants, etc. of any campus in the SEC.
And I've been to every one of them.

Other than that, it's ok but nothing special.
Definitely not the overall "big time" feel of a LSU/Bama/UGA/Tenn.

More backwood, country arse inbred folks than you will see at any other sec venue, but you have to understand. They are ALL that state has. No pro teams or any other major college program.
They are passionate about their team but embarass themselves in the process, but they don't get that.

I have been to many out of town games. The rudest, most classless and most obnoxious fans I have ever encountered were the Arkansas fans in Little Rock the year J. Jefferson was our QB and they beat us to go to the Sugar Bowl. Not isolated instances but dozens of people before and after the game being vulgar and belligerent even to young girls. And I have a high tolerance for that kind of stuff. I have never been to Fayetteville.

Without a doubt. In 2006, we parked on the golf course. Needless to say, on the walk to the stadium, our group had multiple rounds of full, freshly opened 10 oz. beer cans tossed at us from 60-70 feet away. I wish I was joking.
