The field will look a little different for Arkansas's game against UAB. In June, the NCAA announced that corporate logos will be allowed on the field, giving Arkansas the opportunity to earn some extra ad revenue.

The two corporate sponsors donning their logos on the field at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will be the two of the 'big three' businesses in Northwest Arkansas: Walmart and Tyson Foods.

University of Arkansas director of athletics, Hunter Yuracheck, released a statement describing the partnership between the university and the on-field corporate sponsors.

"We are grateful to our longtime partners Walmart and Tyson Foods for stepping forward once again to support Razorback Athletics and the University of Arkansas... It is only fitting that when fans watch the Hogs play at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, they will be reminded of two Arkansas born success stories that transformed our state and reshaped our world."

The Hogs will kickoff their home schedule against UAB today at 3:15 PM today.
