Make a Weekend of It
An away game is a good excuse to get out and explore a different part of Fayetteville. Meet up with friends, order some local food, grab a cold drink and find a spot where you can join other Razorback fans in cheering on the Hogs. If you're spending the weekend in town, make time for Fayetteville's restaurants, shops, trails, arts & culture, and attractions before kickoff or after the final whistle.
One quick note: Game-day plans and viewing schedules can vary, particularly when several major games are happening at the same time. It's always a good idea to check with the restaurant before heading out to make sure they'll have the Razorbacks on TV.
