Opposition Rising Against Razorback Stadium Expansion, With Good and Bad Points

Thursday morning, the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees will vote and is expected to approve plans to, mostly, expand the north end zone of Razorback Stadium and rebuild the Broyles Center.

Most of the Board has already expressed support. Former Governor David Pryor until recently has been the lone voice of opposition, but Wednesday morning, five former members of the Board wrote an op-ed published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and other publications. Most of the reader comments on that post support the opposition. In an unscientific Arkansas Business poll with, as of this writing, 207 votes cast, 74% think UA should not move forward with the expansion plans.
