Thoughts on going to the game at Arkansas? Any experience in Fayetteville?
Ticket prices aren’t bad.
Only a 5 hour drive for me from St. Louis.
Arkansas is one of the few states I’ve never been to.
If so, any advice on where to stay? Things to see/experience?

Fayetteville-Bentonville-Springdale is all one big metro area...
which we visited several times for swim meets, women's hoops (to see Jackie Stiles and Mo. State beat a top 10 Razorback women's team in Bud Walton Arena), and play golf. It is a very active area full of hotels and restaurants and I would not think you would be disappointed.
Fayetteville campus is very hilly yet quite wooded and attractive. My daughter is a Notre Dame Monogram Club member and will try to get tickets so we will likely go. It is as close as we can get for a Notre Dame road game...though we were in Norman in 2012 and New Orleans this year for the Sugar Bowl and not expecting to win either time. There will be 100,000 hog callers in the stands...they love them some hogs.
A golf friend of mine lives there and played for the football Hogs many moons ago. I had invited him to go to ND when they were on the schedule in 2019. He backed out thinking he did not want to go and see the Hogs get slaughtered...but Covid made him miss that opportunity. Not sure how the Arkansas fan base sees this match-up, but for sure, their team is expecting to win.
Thanks. I’ve been to multiple ND away games over the years while I lived in different parts of the
country. They are frequently easier tickets than home games.
Some have been interesting venues such as the Air Force Academy, and the old Stanford stadium. Others like Boston College which was like a High School stadium not so much.
