All fans in attendance will receive a football team poster. The Razorbacks will be placed at different locations throughout the arena with the offense located on the concourse, the defense on the perimeter of the arena floor and Coach Bielema in the museum. Select Arkansas players will also be roaming around on the arena floor. Fans can download the arena map on ArkansasRazorbacks.
