FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas crossed a football milestone Wednesday, announcing it has scheduled a game against Arkansas State University in 2025 at Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium.
The Razorbacks and Red Wolves have never met in football, and UA scheduling guidelines before 2019 prohibited the Fayetteville school from facing in-state schools in any sport.
The 2025 game at War Memorial Stadium is the centerpiece for a Razorbacks scheduling priority to play their SEC home games on campus in Fayetteville.
"I felt like the timing is right as we opened up in-state competition with our sister schools in several sports two years ago to continue through this pandemic with many of our sports competing against Arkansas State and Central Arkansas," UA Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said in a video conference.
