Dickson Street is the entire crawl — you barely have to move. Start at the east end and work your way west. Arrive at least 3 hours before kickoff for noon games. Practice your "Wooo Pig Sooie!" before you arrive — you'll be expected to call the Hogs at every stop.
What makes Arkansas Razorbacks game day unique — the rituals, chants, and moments every fan lives for.
The iconic "Wooo Pig Sooie!" hog call is the most recognizable cheer in the SEC. Fans raise their arms, wiggle their fingers downward, and shout "Wooo Pig Sooie! Razorbacks!" in perfect unison. The call echoes through Razorback Stadium and across Dickson Street on every gameday.
Two hours before kickoff, the Arkansas football team walks from the Broyles Athletic Center to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium through a massive crowd of cheering fans. The Hog Walk is a beloved pre-game ritual that energizes both players and fans before every home game.
Dickson Street — Fayetteville's legendary entertainment district — transforms into a sea of cardinal red on gameday. Bars open at dawn for noon kickoffs, live music fills the air, and the energy builds for hours. JJ's Grill rooftop and Hog Haus Brewing are the crown jewels of the pre-game scene.
The Arkansas fight song "Arkansas Fight" is played by the Razorback Marching Band after every score. The entire stadium joins in band performs with energy and precision. The song has been associated with Razorback football for decades and is instantly recognizable to any SEC fan.
Big Red, the costumed Razorback mascot, is joined by a live razorback hog named Tusk on the sideline at home games. Tusk — a massive Russian boar — is one of the most unique live mascots in college football and draws enormous crowds during pre-game festivities.
The annual game against Texas A&M — the Southwest Classic — is one of the most anticipated matchups on the Arkansas schedule. The rivalry between two former Southwest Conference foes now playing in the SEC draws massive crowds and intense passion from both fan bases.
Top spots to eat before or after the game — ranked by proximity, quality, and game day vibes.
