HOOVER, Ala. — The Arkansas-Missouri football rivalry game is on the move again this year. For each of the last five years the Razorbacks and Tigers have shifted their Battle Line Rivalry game to the Friday after Thanksgiving. That’s the case again this fall — the teams play their regular-season finale on Nov. 29 on CBS — but Arkansas is moving the game off campus from Fayetteville to Little Rock, 190 miles away in the middle of the state.
Arkansas has played at least one game in the state capital at War Memorial Stadium every season since 1948, a tradition that’s polarized fans, coaches and politicians alike across the Natural State.
