FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will open the 2016 football season with a game against Louisiana Tech, according to a news release.
The game will be played Sept. 3, 2016, at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. The schools agreed to the game five years ago, but the date and location were announced by Louisiana Tech on Thursday.
The Louisiana Tech game was originally scheduled to be played at War Memorial Stadium, but Arkansas has since reduced its number of annual games in Little Rock from two to one.
Louisiana Tech has never played the Razorbacks on the Fayetteville campus.
