Arkansas

Saturday in Fayetteville builds from HogTown and the Hog Walk to the team running through the A. Figure out whether you’re headed for the Gardens or Victory Village before you unpack.

Must see / do

Around campus

• HogTown, on Maple Street north of the stadium, is the open festival from 4 hours before kick until 30 minutes out. Music, screens, a beer garden, and trucks. Everyone’s welcome. It isn’t a DIY tent grid.
• Victory Village and the Gardens are the named athletics zones that feed the Hog Walk. The Wild Band of Razorbacks monument on Stadium Drive NE is the bronze photo stop. Tusk, the live Russian boar, often shows up on home Saturdays. A sighting isn’t a meet-and-greet.
• Inside, Calling the Hogs and Running Through the A happen about 3.5 minutes before kick, through the band’s A. Be in your seat for the entrance.

Before the game

• The Hog Walk is about 2:15 to 2:30 before kick. It runs from Victory Village North through Victory Village, the heart of HogTown, and Lot 44 into the stadium. If the timelines disagree, use that week’s advisory.
• Trailgating is the downtown Fayetteville parade into campus, about 2 hours before kick, every home game.
• Public gates and the box (1, 11, and 16) open 1.5 hours before kick. Suites and club open 2 hours out.

On the lot

• The Gardens and Victory Village are where the tailgate energy is. HogTown is a festival street, not a place to grid out your own tents.
• No public alcohol on campus. Tent size and the setup clock are in the overview. Don’t guess them.

Overview

• Personal, non-commercial tailgating is allowed campus-wide in designated spaces. The Gardens and the priority lots are the heart of it.
• Setup from 5:00 p.m. the day before. Tear-down by noon the day after. Max 10×10 without written permission. Weights only. No stakes.
• Propane and covered charcoal are OK. You clean the ashes. Grilling can shut down for fire risk. No grilling in parking garages.
• Public display and consumption of alcohol are prohibited on campus. Tobacco-free campus.
• Generators are allowed. Keep the noise down. Don’t hook into University utilities.
• Priority-lot tailgating is for permit holders. Don’t save spaces with gear in the travel lanes.
• No ATVs, golf carts, or off-road vehicles. Trailers generally stay off the grass except in designated areas. Victory Village and Gardens packages are the turnkey option.

The written rules and what an officer calls that Saturday aren’t always the same. Confirm yours the week of the game.
