Crowd split at Southwest Classic

[Beantown Razahback]

This is going to be the biggest game of the Bielema era, and it's a true neutral site where both sides can fill it up on a given Saturday. This is a big opportunity for Hog fans to step to the plate and give this team a really meaningful home field advantage with more Razorback Red than maroon. :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[NuttinItUp]

This is going to be the biggest game of the Bielema era

Assuming A&M can win against Auburn...

(Which it looks promising that they can right now, but not guaranteed)

[go hogues]

The last few years the crowds have dwindled. Almost completely empty upper decks on both sides. However, it still usually remains a 50/50 split.

[Beantown Razahback]

Most definitely...I hope that this week brings a huge showing

Even if aTm loses I think you can still make the case that it's the biggest, especially given our recent history with them. Every next opportunity this season is at this point.

Tickets are too high for the game.  Plus you add in hotel, gas, meals.  Much cheaper to watch on TV.

[Beantown Razahback]

^^

I totally get it. I also get the people who will tell me I better be going to the game for saying this and I'm not, and I get that too. I just hope Razorback fans come up big .

I agree with this.

I am going to the game. Flying from South Florida. I'm a member of RF but I didn't go through the ticket office for tickets because I didn't want to sit so high up. I bought tickets elsewhere but paid double for them. I'm okay w that to get good seats, but dang this game really is expensive even through the ticket office.

[Beantown Razahback]

Definitely is. That's paying for Jerry World I'm sure.

[rhames]

I'm going. I'm excited. 2 years in a row.

Any game is much cheaper to watch on TV

[hogfanmd]

Any game is much cheaper to watch on TV

Unless the TV is located in a casino

[PossumFan]

Unless the TV is located in a casino

Or, in my case, in a bar

[BigSexyHog]

I agree tickets are way to expensive but I am going.. Living in the DFW area pays off...lol

[McKdaddy]

I've not missed any of the A&M/UA games at Jerry's, but might eat my ticket this year due to my 7-yr old son's football game. Decisions.

[Mr. Porkleone]

gone last few years. just to much for family to go this year

[bleedhogred]

My first year going, but have had season tickets for years. I came upon a great opportunity for tickets at face value 3rd row behind the hog bench 35 yardline! but even at face value 225 a ticket but beats the 5 to 6 hundo at ticket sites! Gonna be a great game and sure hoping for a big win then play sisters of the poor, then maybe game day in Fayetteville?

[BadHog]

Best game experience ever. I love it. Worth the $$ - it's more than just a football game. GO HOGS!

[parallaxpig]

Went to games during BP edited years. Going this year and I'm looking forward to it. As far as cost, yes tickets, adult beverages, food and everything else is expensive. I look at it as cost of having the Jerry's World experience. 

[tampahog]

I'm going for the first time this year.  In years past, does stubhub or any of the other sites drop prices in the last 24 hours ?

I'm sure they might but with both teams playing hot who knows.

Two years ago I bought tickets at the game for 90 each I believe.  They were nosebleed in the a&m section so I stood in an area behind the end zone. It was a good view

Billion dollar stadium. But I agree it's a pretty penny to attend this one.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

If Jerrah were a true Razorback, he would charge A&M fans twice as much as Hog fans for the tickets.


BTW, we will be there.  Third consecutive year.

a 7 year old's game? That's not even a hard decision, bro. He won't even remember.

that's the slacker play. basically what I did in 2014.

[HotlantaHog]

I am going this year. Have skipped past few years.... Tickets are pricey ... and checked Jerry World site and parking is $50 ...

Your priorities SUCK.

Hmmm... Khakis.

[hogsbeattexas]

I have a feeling we are going to be very outnumbered.  I have been to every game we've played in Jerry World, and we travel well.  But we still have a LOT of tickets available for purchase this year and it looks like A&M is nearly sold out (I checked their site).  Hopefully I am wrong.

[Beantown Razahback]

^^

I hope this is not the case...the team needs and deserves as much support as possible.

Go to your kids game.  He will remember.  Plus the Razorbacks will be playing football long after your son has hung up his cleats.

McKdaddy, your son will definitely remember if you're not there.  You'll never regret going to your son's game.

[Tusks]

uhh, khakis...

pressed with a crease?

[WooPig90]

Has anyone the last few years went to the stadium and found tickets there? Dont have tickets yet this year but want to go

[Foozzball]

Best team always wins regardless of site

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I wish I could go to my sons game on Saturday.

[Foozzball]

I think it stupid that a 7 year old has a football game period!  Whats wrong with our society these days, have we lost all common sense?  At 7 their skulls are still like egg shells, all it takes is one good placed hit and your kid is damaged for life!  No wonder our kids act crazy in their teen years and do things we never did 30 years ago, their brains are mangled from crashing heads together under the age of 12-13 before their skulls have grown and thickened up!  My advice, take your kid off the team and dont let him play again until Junior high football.   Take your kid to the Ark aTm game, neither of you will forget that!

Tell us how you feel about youth football. :-)

Maybe, it's flag football. Of course, that will bring another set of complainers out claiming that we are watering down "real American football."

[Foozzball]

No, I love football and there is an age where a kid is developed enough and ready to play week in and week out.  Under the age of 12 should not be acceptable.   Its our society, I understand its how we think.   I played every sport known to man but I would have never allowed my son at the age of 7 to play a vicious contact sport.  Besides, if the truth came out, we'd find that 90% of the kids dont want to play sports so seriously below the age of 12.  Its their parents that force it on them.

I actually agree with you on contact football before junior high school for a few reasons:

(1) There are no techniques that are learned before junior high that will impact a future fb player's career.
(2) While good-hearted in most cases, youth football coaches are typically not competent in training safe tackling techniques or correcting poor techniques.
(3) There can be tremendous size differences at these ages. Contact football at this early age can turn a small, late blooming great athlete into a kid that never plays football past 2nd grade because of a hit at age 10 by another kid that weighs (literally) twice as much as the same age.

[Foozzball]

And that is all I'm saying...lol  You nailed it.   Many of the unqualified coaches at that level dont have any business smashing kids heads together.

That's not true.
