Arkansas kicked off the 3rd season of the Sam Pittman era with a 31-24 win over Cincinnati in Fayetteville on Sept. 3.
However, the experience during the game for fans at Razorback Stadium was less than ideal, including getting into the venue. That prompted athletics director Hunter Yurachek to take to Twitter to post an apology over any issues fans may have faced.
“With near capacity crowds anticipated for the remainder of the season, I wanted to let you know that we are working to revise procedures to make stadium entry more efficient as well as address other issues involving travel to and from the game,” he wrote. “I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced this past weekend and want to let you know that we will continue to take steps to enhance your gameday experience. Be on the lookout in the next few days for additional information related to those efforts.”
Arkansas football has certainly been a hot ticket as the team has seen marked improvement under Pittman. We’ll see how things play out in the way of gameday enhancements when South Carolina comes to town for a noon ET kickoff on Saturday.
