Arkansas announces new rooftop bar seating option for football home games

Arkansas is offering fans a new option for experiencing Razorback home football games. The program announced the addition of Big Red’s Rooftop to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in the fall of 2023.

Located on the North End Zone Deck, Big Red’s Rooftop will serve as a general admission area. The rooftop area features 3 individual bars under a covered space. The announcement says there will be 70 bar seats as well as additional pub tables in the surrounding area and a drink rail overlooking the field to provide fans with a variety of ways to experience the games.

“In our state, an Arkansas Football gameday provides the perfect opportunity to come together with friends, family or fellow Hog fans for a tailgate or watch party,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said in a released statement.

“Now Razorback fans can enjoy that same experience within the stadium, as they cheer on our team from the most unique sports bar in college football – Big Red’s Rooftop. Whether you want to watch the game from a chair located on the deck rail or view it on one of the many televisions at the bar, you will always be right in the middle of the action and enveloped by the unrivaled surround sound of more than 70,000 Razorback fans Calling the Hogs!”

Big Red’s Rooftop tickets will be sold on a single-game basis. These tickets will allow fans to enter the stadium and give them access to the general admission area with no assigned seating. All fans entering Big Red’s Rooftop must have a specific ticket to that area.

The announcement lists the available beverages as beer, wine, ready-to-drink cocktails and Coca-Cola products. There will also be a food menu.
