Look. They left that gap there for all the College game day crew setups we will have in this future! Thinking ahead! Ha!

More of the lower bowl has been put in place. The NEZ tunnel is there as well. Its getting to the point  where you can get an idea of how it will look in the end.
I wish a pic from field level was available. Someone go down on the 50 and post a couple for us. What about that guy who kept going to Drake Field?

Was just thinking the same. Can’t wait to see the look from field level again with the new updates.

I know youre being facetious, but that actually would be a good spot for SEC gameday when they come next season
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

Yeah, it really would. Here's hoping we become so good that game day can't stay away.

So, just to be clear, you truly believe Jeff $$ Long - the person who got rid of slobbering hog, added front facing hog, etc. (a clear champion of history) and whose every move was driven by profit even to the extent he put PEPSI at games much to fans chagrin (which I don't blame him for that is his job, and short of the CBB contract, he was objectively extremely good at it)  - would turn down the opportunity to sell 12 more suites...in the name / spirit of history? Rice I know you cannot actually believe that. If we could have filled those suites they would have been built.

We haven't had a "carpet bagger" moment in a few hours.

I am a Hog fan. I was long before my name was etched, twice, on the sidewalks on the Hill. I will be long after Sam Pittman and Eric Mussleman are coaches, and Hunter Yuracheck is AD. I am a Hog fan when we win, when we lose and when we don't play. I love hearing the UA band play the National Anthem on game day, but I sing along to the Alma Mater. I am a Hog fan.<br /><br />A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. - Bart Giamatti <br /><br />"It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth,' and so it goes away. Puzzling." ― Robert M.

Recruits pay attention to facilities.

You can hate the coach.

You can hate the athletic director.

Fans should always support facility improvements because they help with recruiting and will last longer than any coach or AD.

Wow. Love this young man. Thanks for posting.

He's right about facilities. Arkansas's are as good as they get, as is the academic support.

The new NEZ improvements will have a big impact on recruiting in 2019 and beyond. It's an exciting time to be a Razorbacks fan.

My wife and I will be making the trip down for the basketball game this Saturday. I signed us up for the event going on at DWRRS that day:

http://www.arkansasrazorbacks.com/february-17-showcase-event/

For some of the activities like taking pictures on the field, kicking the 30 yard field goal, are those limited to people that place deposits only? On the first bullet point it states to be entered into a drawing you have to place a deposit for club seats. Does that apply for the drawing only or the rest of the bullet points? Just curious if anyone on here has further info about this event otherwise stated on the website. Thanks in advance!

I hate it too, but I get smited everytime I mention it.  It looks like we ran out of money.  The only reason that is considered a "tradition" is because we didn't have a complete stadium.  Kinda like my dads old truck had a tradition of rolling down the windows when it was hot. The tradition went away when he finally bought one with a/c.

Pretty cool that the old truck would roll it's own windows down when it was hot. I'd have kept it...

Definitely did and hated it.  Didn't surprise me at all though.  Based upon what I've seen on other teams' wide screens, Arkansas' version seems a little amateurish. 

Hopefully they'll get it together.
It's because it's the old NEZ screen and even before, video was always stretched too wide on it. It also had issues with scan lines being slowly refreshed, creating the amateurish results you speak of.

That's what I've thought all along.  It's like the centerfield gate.  A lot of MLB parks do really cool things with those spaces, set up outdoor 'living rooms', have bands, etc.  There are plenty of possibilities here and on top of the roof, which it looks like they intend to use for that purpose  at least judging from the video.. 

Though most fans won't be able to afford to go up there.

goodguytex

I've had artists renderings of the inside and outside of the completed construction saved on my cell, and ever since I've gotten to see what the finished product looked like, I've liked it, and thought it looked awesome!

Now I do hope a time will come in the future when the expansion can be built on. But that may be 15-20 years. I hope Hog football gets successful enough in the near future where there won't ever be an empty seat in the house.

No inside info here, but I'd imagine they will be in the $20-$25 range. The whole idea was to offer it as an affordable alternative so that all fans can go to games.

I doubt they even sell those tickets until a game is officially sold out, but your price is probably close.

At one time they were kicking around $15, but as we know, there's inflation. I agree, they are going to sell the others before those.

Wish we would get a new field, I like natural grass. Also wish we would paint the end zones red with white letters.

Yea yea I know that's ticky. I don't care

We're getting new turf, the font is to match the current font on our jerseys.

I like the ideas of making this area an intentional, designed 'water feature.' When it's still, it makes a nice reflecting pool. And, it could have dancing fountains like the Bellagio Hotel...they could go off after touchdowns.

When headphones quit working for one team, the refs make the other team stop using them also.  I've always thought the the Auburn coaches working up in the box that day should have been made to go stand in an elevator somewhere until the situation was resolved.

I don't know for sure, but I would bet we don't get natural grass any time soon.  If I recall, one of the reasons we went to turf is that it plays a little faster.  I could be wrong but I thought that was something  Petrino said at the time.

I believe the current turf was installed in 2008 and Petrino did prefer turf over grass. It's 10 years old which is time for replacement. When asked when the font would be changed to match the current font, Long has replied when we change the turf in 2018.
