Love it or hate it, War Memorial Stadium has been home to some iconic games for the Arkansas football program.

It’s that time of year again for the Razorbacks. This week the Hogs will be taking on Alcorn State in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium. However, it was not too terribly long ago that Arkansas played more than just FCS opponents in WMS.

Now, I am not here to try to say whether it’s right or wrong to take games out of the War Memorial Stadium, as the great debate will go on for another 50 years without my help. What I am here to say is that there is no denying we’ve all seen some really special games in Little Rock.

Out of all the memories at Memorial, three games come to mind. They are special not just to me but to anyone who was a fan at that time and if you were lucky enough to be there, some of the most electric crowds in Razorback history.
