Razorbacks still exploring stadium expansion

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has demand for additional luxury seating at Razorback Stadium, but no expansion is imminent.

Athletics director Jeff Long said Tuesday that the university had extensively studied adding more suites and club seats to the stadium's north end over the past few years. He said the department is "closer" to expanding the stadium, but didn't offer a public timeline.

Long said expanding the stadium would cost "well over $100 million." That is higher than cost estimates of between $78 million and $95 million outlined in an athletics master plan four years ago.

"It's not easy to move a $100 million-plus project forward," Long said.
