While the teams meet on an annual basis, this will be Mississippi State’s first visit to Fayetteville since 2003. The past five times the Bulldogs have been the visiting team, the game was played in Little Rock, where the Hogs play one or two games a year.
“For the young guys, I don’t think that they’ll notice any difference because they haven’t been to Arkansas, either Little Rock or Fayetteville, but for older guys, I do think it will be a little different since they’re in a new stadium for the first time,” Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen said.
