Another reason to never play in WMS again.

[Gambler]

I don't think they spend much on upkeep

They don't spend much on the clock.

WMS should be turned into the world's largest pisstrough.  It is not an SEC worthy facility. Let UCA take it over.

I still believe that it should be made into an old school colosseum where homeless can't fight off animals and other extraordinary feats to earn a tiny house in town

Our attendance went up because we played in a stadium that allowed more people to... attend?

and don't forget that we are flexing on that shit.

[Thin Red Swine]

About damn time this thread had a GSD.

It's missing a little vitriol, though.

[TC]

And what prize do we win by increasing our attendance numbers?  And don't say money.  The football program has plenty of money.

WMR is on an OG bender.  Just stand and watch.

I mean he's not entirely wrong, but 30 years later in the GSD, the NWA contingent that thinks Crossett is Northern Louisiana has grown even stronger, thanks to the Texas transplants. F'Town keeping it funky for those fleeing the shit show of Austin.  Meanwhile they're bringing all that P&R talk with them after they've fucked Austin all up.

The old Fayettvillian regime never needed anyone's help to fuck things up. They've been pros at that for decades.

We had 30,000 more fans in Fayetteville yesterday than we had in WMS last week.

The opening game experience was embarrassing in Little Rock, not surprisingly

The AD should see this and anticipate future problems, and stop this stupidity.  It should have ended in the early 2000s.

it's a POS stadium and I had thought we we're gonna be completely done after a few years of one game there. When does it end or no end in sight

do they knock that shit down then? That's prime real estate and the current buikding is a dump

2025

Yeah I have a feeling the big showdown with the Howlin' Redwolves will be the last game ever at WMS.  But you never know.  Kevin Crass is now on the BOT and he was (and maybe still is) the head of the WMS commission, or whatever it is.  Kevin is a great guy, by the way.

Assuming Arkansas does pull out for good at WMS...I figure UALR will push for a football program within the next decade and WMS will be their home. That's if there is money for it...what would it cost to get the ball rolling? 25 million off the top of my head and I may be way off.

I think playing ASU as the final game would be a fitting end though. If you are going to play a shitty opponent maybe at least play a home state team that people will show up for just to see them bleed. It might accidentally be a good game I'm sure Butch Jones will have them dialed in by then. If we lose that game it will go down as the beginning of the end of the Pittman era. By then the way things look we will be coming off two more ho hum years and people will have forgotten had bad it feld to be 0 for 15 in the SEC.

Beyond high school games what revenue does this place even take in to keep it up? Why aren't they trying to pump it out more for concerts

Because there are about 4 weekends where the weather would allow it. It's either too hot or raining when it's cool enough. And it's a dump, no artist would want to play in it.

guns n roses played there didn't they? They're scuzzy so guess why. It shoukd become a place where we hold gladiator type stuff where the homeless people compete for money and shelter.

[The Reverend SnoopHogg]

It serves a purpose for municipal purposes, games with UCA/ASU, HS games, etc. 

It's just past time to quit playing Ark games there.

That being said for a very, very long time attendance would dictate playing the games in LR instead of on campus. It was a big deal when we finally had more seats in Fayetteville than LR after the big expansion.

This.

Fuck it all, but this.

I used to be a die hard "keep them in Little Rock" Guy.  Fuck that.  Move every game to Fayetteville and let our shittastic mayor turn WMS into a murder zone for UAPB prom night or whatever the fuck he plans on doing.  This city is doomed.  He is an imbecile and cares only for promoting himself and his people.

They shit the bed when they had the chance.  They had the money lined up, big money donors and a pretty good shot at making it happen, and they chose a ...wait for it...


Rasslin program.

Not even a Rick Flair/Macho Man rasslin program.

The "two grown men in onesies flailing around in homoerotic poses" type of rasslin.

Yeah.  UALR is led by idiots.

I like this idea too. I guess the new mayor wears the crowning achievement of most dangerous cities in America like it's an honor because he sure af doesn't seem to care. How the fuck did this guy get voted in.
