FAYETTEVILLE — Jordyn Wieber’s vision for University of Arkansas gymnastics is that the program will eventually outgrow Barnhill Arena and require a bigger venue.

The third-year head coach and her GymBacks the Razorbacks will get a major trial run in a bigger facility in an historic encounter against Auburn tonight at 7:30.

The No. 15 Razorbacks (1-0) will host the No. 8 Tigers (2-0) in the school’s first meet at 19,200-seat Walton Arena, and the stars will be out for the seminal event.
