A University of Arkansas System committee gave the Fayetteville campus an initial green light for adding more premium seating at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
UA-Fayetteville will begin soliciting donations to expand the north end zone and add some 3,200 seats, said Jeff Long, the school’s athletic director. UA has estimated that the upgrades and expansion will cost $160 million, and now the university has the green light to get more detailed design and cost projections.
The university received unanimous approval from the system’s board Wednesday, with trustee and former U.S. Sen. David Pryor of Little Rock abstaining from the vote.
