Now we know what will be replacing the bleachers on top of the south end zone

[hoghearted]

Sounds like a great idea

[Flatline]

That is pretty cool. Kids will eat that up.

[The_Iceman]

Cool. I see nothing bad about this.

[The_Iceman]

What a beautiful picture! How awesome will that look when the NEZ expansion happens? Will be one of the nicest stadiums in the country.

[razorbackkid]

It has some real potential.

[sickboy]

That's awesome! I wish that was there when I was in school.

[ifghog]

That is an awesome idea!

[LZH]

That's fantastic.

[Hawgndaaz]

hopefully it won't be overrun with pomphret types

[The_Iceman]

hopefully it won't be overrun with pomphret types

Yeah, because the fraternity types have done wonders for our student section.

BTW, Hotz is the honors dorm now, not Pomfret.

[popcornhog]

The press release says student organizations can reserve up to 750 seats. That'll take up close to half if it's utilized.

The only thing that is add is IF there are still spots available, say, 20 minutes before kickoff -- let students grab a second one to give away to a friend who doesn't have an access pass or to a family member or non student friend. Just to fill it up.

And what's your problem with honors kids?

[popcornhog]

Yeah, because the fraternity types have done wonders for our student section.

BTW, Hotz is the honors dorm now, not Pomfret.

When did that happen?

[Hawgndaaz]

Yeah, because the fraternity types have done wonders for our student section.

They sure do a lot for our Razorback Foundation.

[VT HOG]

They better be careful with that. Hammered college students that high up.

[ricepig]

Safer than the rickety wooden bleachers.....

[Cinco de Hogo]

Great idea, I agree students should eat that up...and drink it up if alcohol is served!

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

If the idea goes over well I could see them replicating it for non-students on the north end.  If they bowl in the corners a "Club" like section could be built over the Broyles center.  They could sell club passes that would be in addition to your ticket.  But if they do this they would need a second Jumbotron on the south end.

MSU is completing stadium renovations and will now have jumbos on both ends of the field.

[Inhogswetrust]

Sounds like a great idea

Man I wish they had that when I was a student.

[Huckleberry Pig]

Great idea.  I'm sure it will be a hit with the students. 

[ricepig]

Man I wish they had that when I was a student.

Did they even have a second deck on the west side back then? What year did we get lights in Fayetteville?

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

My only hope is the dj doesn't drown out the sounds of the game.

[repugnantswine]

A place to go watch the football game at the football game....

[Ugly Uncle]

Man, I hope they put up a high wall around that thing. 

[Rump Roast]

hopefully it won't be overrun with pomphret types

NERDS!

[twistitup]

It's going to be a party for sure

[Cinco de Hogo]

Something like this?

I agree
Sounds like they are turning a football game into a concert.

[98hogs]

Man, I hope they put up a high wall around that thing. 

No Doubt,  Looks a little dangerous especially after pregame sodas

[HogFaninMemphis]

As a student I don't think I'll ever do this other than to check it out. As above posters mention, it's a place to watch the game at the game. I'd rather just watch the game and forget the other stuff. Plus, we know they won't put alcohol in that section. Even that wouldn't intrigue me, since I can just bring a flask in and save the money already.

I'm with you.  That being said this is a good idea because there are a large number of people who are there to be there.  Now they can get out of the way and give two types of game experience for the students.  IMO the student section might actually be louder now.

This is the kind of stuff we need to be doing.

Yea,
Its not a bad idea but we do have a great view of one of the largest screens in the world.
Definitley hope the DJ doesnt drown out the college football experience.

The DJ is playing the music when we are on defense, and a few other times. Mike Waddell had several tweets on game day changes about a week ago.

Sounds good.
Missed out on the tweets. Don't have a twitter acct.

Yep, something like only 4 :30 in game commercials, lots of other improvements.

I hope they improve our video entrance!
They are okay but could be so much better.

They shot a new one, that, and the helmet smash is back.

Are you talking about the group of people wearing green it looks wierd on tv

[SONofHAM]

I think you guys are over-blowing that a little bit.  There have been students up there for a decade.  Plenty of people have been up there after drinking and some drink while up there.  It's a safe place and honestly one of the best seats in the house once they improve the sound system.

[ATU HOG]

As a recent graduate of U of A and about to start Grad School here in Fayetteville, I'm eager to see how this works. 

"The new Razorback Rooftop will provide University of Arkansas students an opportunity to sit together, socialize and mingle with friends while watching the best college football in the country."   

My opinion on this is when I'm at the game, I'm not trying to sit around, socialize, and mingle.... I can do that after we win on Dickson.  Students are at the games to be loud, have fun, and make life hell for the other team. 

[HighcountryHog]

I must say this is a good call by the department/school.  After visiting other sporting venues, college and professional, a lot of them have areas or zones like this in the venue somewhere.  For people who aren't football fanatics or school alums, it's another way to get people there that wouldn't normally attend I guess.  If beer was served there, oh man...

[Arkamedes]

They should call it the Pen House.

[LRrazorback]

Did I miss the thread about this?  Saw it on Yahoo,  the south ez will now be a student area, they'll have a DJ, and some other cool things. Cost will be $85 and they're offering 2000 passes for this area.

Wish it would've been around in my day

[hoghearted]

So will this be 'alternate seating' for those students who have tickets? Or will this be something of an expansion for student seating?

[younghog]

GREAT IDEA... will be the ticket to get for students

[ricepig]

I'm thinking it's still part of the 9800 student access passes they already sell.

[cosmodrum]

NERDS!

[sowmonella]

Has anybody seen an artist rendering of this new area?

[Pigsknuckles]

Cool. I see nothing bad about this.

Should be a hot ticket. Hope student appropriate fencing/railing is installed.
