Arkansas Razorbacks Football Tickets

Razorback Stadium seats: the quick decision

For most fans, the right Arkansas seat is on the west sideline between the 30-yard lines. You get the full width of the field, and the afternoon sun stays behind you. If that section is out of reach, move up rather than around: an upper-level sideline seat usually shows the game better than a low end zone seat. Razorback Stadium sits on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, and the Razorbacks play there from late August or early September through November as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

• Best view: lower sideline, middle rows, between the 30s.
• Best value: upper sideline, where formations and coverages are easy to read.
• Budget pick: the south end zone, in the higher rows.
• Newest seats: the north end zone, rebuilt in 2016–2018 with premium areas.

Shade, cold and what the Ozarks add

The field runs north to south. On an afternoon kickoff, west-side seats face away from the sun and east-side seats look straight into it. That difference is sharpest in September, when Northwest Arkansas can still be hot. For a noon or mid-afternoon start early in the season, the west side is worth paying a little more for.

November reverses the problem. Night games in the Ozarks can turn cold quickly, and an exposed upper row feels it first. Bring layers you can add after halftime.

Rows that look better than they are

The first handful of rows in the lower sideline put you almost level with the players' benches, so you see helmets and sideline staff more than the play. Middle rows of the lower bowl, roughly a third of the way up, give a cleaner angle. In either end zone, the higher you sit, the more of the far end of the field you can follow.

Home dates that go fast

Your opponent decides how hard a ticket will be to find. Arkansas carries rivals from two eras: the Southwest Conference years and the SEC years.

• LSU: the biggest SEC rivalry, played since 1996 for the Golden Boot, a gold trophy in the shape of both states. The 2002 "Miracle on Markham" and the 2007 triple-overtime win in Baton Rouge are the series touchstones.
• Texas A&M: the Southwest Classic spent most seasons after 2009 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. From 2025 it moved back to campus sites, so some years bring it to Fayetteville.
• Missouri: the Battle Line Rivalry, with a trophy added in 2015.
• Ole Miss: played every year since 1981, including a seven-overtime game in 2001.
• Texas: the old SWC rival of the 1969 "Big Shootout" and the 1981 upset of the No. 1 Longhorns in Fayetteville.

A ranked SEC visitor or a traditional rival sells first, especially in a night slot. Early nonconference games are the easiest tickets of the year to land. If Alabama is on the home schedule, expect a crowd near the stadium record of 76,808, set against the Crimson Tide in 2010. For the other side of these series, see LSU Tigers Football, Texas A&M Aggies Football, Missouri Tigers Football and Texas Longhorns Football.

Hog Call, Tusk and a Fayetteville Saturday

The sound you will remember is Calling the Hogs, the "Woo Pig Sooie" cheer that Arkansas fans have used since the 1920s. The whole stadium does it before kickoff and after scores, and it carries into every tailgate.

• Tusk is the live mascot, a Russian boar of about 400 pounds brought to Fayetteville for each home game.
• Big Red, Sue E. and Pork Chop are the costumed mascots working the stands.
• Cardinal and white are the colors, and "Arkansas Fight" is the fight song.
• Tailgating spreads across campus; the university publishes the locations, hours and rules each season.

For decades Arkansas also played home games at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. That contract ended after 2024, and the school had no near-term plans to go back, so every home game you can buy is in Fayetteville.

Where single-game Arkansas tickets come from

Season-ticket holders hold most of the stadium, and the prime sideline locations are generally linked to donor priority (a ranking based on giving history). Enrolled students get their own allotment, and each visiting school receives a block for its fans. Whatever remains goes on sale game by game, and for the top SEC matchups that remainder is small.

That is why resale is how most fans reach the biggest home games. Resale prices climb when the team starts strong, when a ranked opponent visits and when the kickoff moves to night. Early-season games against smaller opponents often ease as the date approaches, which makes them the best time to try a premium sideline seat. Every Reserved Seat order comes with a 100% guarantee.

From Bezdek's hogs to the SEC

Arkansas first fielded a team in 1894. After an unbeaten 1909 season, coach Hugo Bezdek said his players had played "like a wild band of razorback hogs", and the school dropped the Cardinals name for the Razorbacks in 1910. The program spent 1915 through 1991 in the Southwest Conference, winning all 13 of its conference titles there, then moved to the SEC in 1992. It claims the 1964 national championship, awarded by the Football Writers Association of America after an 11–0 season, and has won the SEC Western Division four times.

The stadium grew alongside the program. It opened in 1938 with 13,500 seats; the expansion finished before the 2001 season took permanent seating from about 51,000 to 72,000. The field was named for coach and athletic director Frank Broyles in 2007, and natural grass replaced artificial turf in 2019. Sources list capacity differently: Wikipedia gives 76,212 since 2018, while the athletics department's facility page still cites 72,000.

Two names on one stadium

A 2001 gift from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation put the Reynolds name on the stadium. In June 2026 the university announced a partnership with CommunityAmerica Credit Union that renames it CommunityAmerica Razorback Stadium, with one account giving July 1, 2027, as the effective date. Expect either name on tickets, maps and listings during the changeover; it is the same building.

Bag rules, parking and mobile-ticket steps can change each season. Before you travel, check the current gameday guide on the Razorbacks football site.
