In fact they`ve played at War Memorial Stadium since 1948.
Razorback athletics spokesperson Kevin Trainer said due to a recent contract it wont end anytime soon. Known as the great stadium debate, it was decided until at least 2014 Razorback games will still be held at War Memorial.
"A minimum of two games a year will be played at War Memorial" Trainer said.
Broyles Stadium accommodates nearly 20-thousand more fans and of course more revenue than War Memorial. Trainer said its estimated each Razorback game at Broyles brings in 3.2 million dollars compared to War Memorials 1.5 million.
While the Razorbacks are based in Fayetteville, they are considered the state`s team and hail fans from all over. In fact when they play in Little Rock its considered a home game. Trainer says many of the players, including the entire defensive line, are from Little Rock so they enjoy playing there.
