Razorbacks, War Memorial extend contract through 2024

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks' days at War Memorial Stadium aren't over yet.

The two sides announced an agreement to keep Arkansas games at the 70-year-old stadium through 2023 on Thursday, ending another round of speculation that the venue's top-selling tenant could end its stay in Little Rock. A contract between the two sides was set to end following Arkansas' upcoming game against Ole Miss at the stadium on Oct. 13.

The new agreement, which runs through Dec. 31, 2024, includes concessions on both sides. Arkansas will play one game every other year in Little Rock - the regular-season finale Thanksgiving weekend against Missouri, a Southeastern Conference opponent - beginning in 2019, ending a practice of playing there annually that began when the stadium opened in 1948.
