Arkansas fans looking forward to seeing the Razorbacks in action at Donald W. Reynolds Stadium will have to wait until this fall, as the team announced Thursday night that Saturday’s spring game will no longer be open to the public due to forecasts calling for severe weather.
The Red-White Spring Game will still be broadcast live on SEC Network according to the team’s official website:
With numerous forecasts for Saturday calling for severe weather, including the threat of tornadoes and flooding, the Arkansas football program’s annual Red-White Spring Game scheduled for noon CT inside Donald W. Reynolds Stadium will be closed to the public.
Razorback Athletics, working in conjunction with the SEC Network, has arranged for the game to still be broadcast live on the SEC Network and via the WatchESPN platform starting at noon CT.
The school has also confirmed that fan fest in the Bud Walton Arena parking lot has been canceled. The Hogs are the last of the 14 SEC spring games this year.
