As a result of the high attendance at Razorback football games, Razorback Athletics has partnered with the Fayetteville Police Department and the University of Arkansas Police Department to create color coded pre-game and post-game traffic routes in hopes of clearing the usual jam around the stadium.
The new colored routes are being implemented to provide fans with the easiest, most direct way to get to their desired location. After receiving a parking pass from the Razorback Foundation, fans can expect to receive a recommended route color for entering and exiting the stadium based on their designated parking lot.
