The University of Arkansas is the beating heart of Fayetteville — a beautiful campus crowned by the historic Old Main, and the home of Razorback athletics. Whether you’re strolling Senior Walk or cheering on the Hogs at one of the best game-day atmospheres in college sports, the U of A is a must on any Fayetteville visit.
Old Main & Senior Walk
The twin-towered Old Main (1875) is the oldest building on campus and Fayetteville’s most iconic landmark. Winding through the grounds is the beloved Senior Walk — nearly five miles of pavement inscribed with the names of more than 120,000 graduates, a tradition that begins at the foot of the Old Main steps. It’s free to explore and lovely for a stroll.
Razorback Stadium (Football)
Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium packs in 76,000+ fans for Razorback football — a roaring, “Woo Pig Sooie” experience on autumn Saturdays. It’s at 350 N Razorback Road on campus.
Bud Walton Arena (Basketball)
Known as the “Basketball Palace of Mid-America,” Bud Walton Arena seats 19,368 — one of the largest on-campus arenas in the country — and gets loud for Razorback hoops. Find it at 1270 Nolan Richardson Drive.
Baum-Walker Stadium (Baseball)
Baum-Walker Stadium (capacity ~11,000) is regularly ranked among the best college baseball parks in the nation, and Razorback baseball draws huge, passionate crowds each spring. It’s at 1255 S Razorback Road.
Game Day, Tickets & Visiting
Schedules and tickets vary by sport and season — check the official Arkansas Razorbacks site for game dates and tickets. On game days, arrive early for parking and tailgating, and note that campus and Dickson Street get busy. The campus itself is free to explore any time.
