Fans should park on the west side of War Memorial Stadium and enter the stadium at the home team gate (between gates 8 and 9).
“Calling the Hogs is one of the most unique and passionate traditions in all of college sports,” Yurachek said. “It is not only our signature cheer, but a rallying cry for our state and the Razorback Nation. As we launch our “One Razorback” initiative to further unite Razorback fans throughout Arkansas and globally, there is no more fitting way than by joining together in one of our greatest traditions.”
The inaugural ONE Hog Call takes the nationally recognized tradition of calling the Hogs to a new level. Fans from throughout the nation and around the globe have already committed to join in.
All fans are encouraged to post photos and videos of their Hog Call on social media using #ONEHogCall. Some of the best submissions will be featured on Razorback social channels and videoboards in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium during Arkansas’s football season opener against Eastern Illinois on Saturday, Sept. 1.
