FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas has signed an amendment to an existing agreement with the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism to bring two additional Razorback football games to Central Arkansas in the coming seasons and to extend the general agreement until the 2025 season.
Future seasons will see War Memorial Stadium play at home to the UAPB’s 2021 (October 23, 2021) and 2024 (August 31, 2024) and Arkansas State 2025 (September 6, 2025) matches. Arkansas will also play Western Carolina (September 2, 2023) at War Memorial Stadium in the 2023 season. As part of the change, previously scheduled games against Missouri will be moved to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.
“We are grateful to the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism and War Memorial Stadium for working with us to host some historic state games at War Memorial Stadium, while allowing us to host Southeastern Conference games on campus. “said Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek of Arkansas. “The Razorback program belongs to our entire state, and as we have shown in many of our sports, it is important that we continue to maintain a presence in Central Arkansas. It is also essential to give our coaching staff the opportunity to present our campus during SEC games to potential student-athletes. ”
“We appreciate our partnership with the University of Arkansas and Razorback Football and want to contribute to the overall success of the program,” said Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism Secretary Stacy Hurst. “Including the games U of A vs. UAPB and U of A vs. Arkansas State, starting this year and until 2025 will present an interesting competition between states. We look forward to presenting an improved venue and receiving people from across the state and not just at the historic War Memorial Stadium. ”
In addition to the games set for War Memorial Stadium, Arkansas announced that it has added a non-conference game with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in Fayetteville on September 14, 2024.
