Can We Stop Playing Games in LR

[RME]

You forgot 2015: vs Toledo, 49,951 so I'm guessing the ratio is 7 out of 10.....

Is 70% still not a majority?

...it was the vision of Frank Broyles to play all our home games in Fayetteville once
the I-49 was completed.  He also knew what makes the students happy - Pizza!

Those numbers surprise me.  I was at everyone of those games and except for a couple, I only considered WMS to be 85-90% full for most of those, a couple much less.

Tickets sold only count for WMS, not for RRS.

Understandable. I've been to several games in Fayetteville (this is NOT A KNOCK AGAINST REYNOLDS) where the north end of the upper deck looked very sparse, but attendance was still stated at 70k or so. Sometimes the announced attendance seems way higher than what is actually present at the game, but who knows.

Everybody on here always think anything Broyles said is right! And I'm tired of it!

I think attendance is always announced as tickets sold.

Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but how much is the buy out for the remaining years in LR?  It's my understanding we have three more years there...

I'd actually be in favor of updating War memorial and not having to drive to the middle of nowhere (Fayetteville) for games.

Bull! His strengths And weaknesses have BOTH been discussed ad naseum on here.

[reddogjcss]

I don't care where they play just want the win! I do however think there is a home field advantage in Fayetteville

I am from Little Rock.  I am also a graduate of the U of A.  It is time for all of the games to move to Fayetteville.  But for credible posters and journalists, that I have HUGE respect for, to focus more on War Memorial stadium than this team being soft and not prepared is mind boggling.

Ben Herbert was supposed to turn these guys into beasts that would crush opposition.  Jason Veltkamp's training methods were a thing of the past.  Toledo's stunts should have been nothing because our line, the largest in the country, was going to pancake them into oblivion.  No I dont attend practice, go to conditioning sessions and sacrifice like the players do, but we should have beat Toldeo anywhere.  We could have rented the Prairie Grove battlefield and beat them there.

A team takes on the persona of its coach.  So I guess these guys are overweight, not conditioned and run their mouths too much. 

I believe that CBB has learned his lesson and this team will crush TTech.

Be tired of it all you want but the fact is, even though Frank made a lot of mistakes during the latter part of his tenure, the great things he did as Hog head coach then AD are indisputable.

No you are not bashing at all when you compare WMS to a high school stadium. Just like all of them it has only 20,000 seats, and its concessions and bathrooms are exactly the same as all the high school stadiums in Texas.  You are not purposely bashing at all, you are only reporting facts that are completely true and unmistakable. Thank you for your honesty, courage, and commitment to integrity.

Well, considering there are more HS games played at WMS, than there are CFB...

Ouch, that's going to hurt......

That's only because Catholic High has no home field.

Dude, you can argue that games should be played there because of tradition, recruiting, etc, but you can't argue that the stadium is ok. It's not even close to belonging in the SEC and everyone knows it.

[Augustus]

That's only because Catholic High has no home field.

Off the top of my head, the Salt Bowl (Benton/Bryant), and several other HS games have already been played at WMS during "Kickoff Weekend"

Plus any other marquee HS games this season, and the HS Championships.

Compared to, what..., one CFB game that will  be played at WMS this year?

There's probably more people that can afford to go to a game though.

Can we stop obsessing about it?
