Brooks concert a test balloon for Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE — The Reynolds Razorback Stadium attendance record might fall this year before a football schedule that includes games against Cincinnati, Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss.

The concert for two-time Grammy Award winner Garth Brooks at the stadium Saturday might potentially exceed the stadium’s listed capacity of 76,412. Some seats on the north side of the stadium and some suites won’t be available due to the stage setup and other factors, but around 8,200 on-field seats will offset those reductions.

The stadium attendance record of 76,808 was set for a 2010 football game against Alabama.

The concert, as well as a multi-day Topgolf event in early May, stray from the normal out-of-season schedule for the stadium, which has rarely been used for anything but football-related events.
