The first pitch isn’t slated until 4 pm central time, so there’s room for exploring the greater Fayetteville area.
That graphic helps with the size of the area.
To help place it, you can take the Trail of Tears π’ to nearby Oklahoma ( 20+ minutes ).
Morning breakfast spot near the campus.
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils recorded a great deal of music back in the 70s, and two made it to the charts. Jackie Blue, and If you want to get to heaven.
It’s time to get back out there and soak up some more Atmosphere….
Congratulations to the Tennessee Volunteers on making it to the College World Series after sweeping the University of Georgia.
The other 7 Best 2 of 3 series are at 1-0 and both Texas and Oklahoma find themselves in an unusual place entering today as the two powerhouses face an elimination game.
In a lifetime of being at a softball diamond π, yesterday was an absolute first for me. While I have been at a larger venue out at the College World Series, I have never experienced the atmosphere and patience that I witnessed from the Razorback fans.
First Pitch took place at 11:05 Central time in front of a crowd measured at 3,196. Forty-five minutes later, the grounds crew covered the infield with a tarp.
The rain delay lasted four hours and ten minutes, not a typo. When play resumed at 4:00 pm local time, the crowd was there minus just a few people.
Arkansas turned a 3-2 deficit into a 14-5 victory over Duke, but the story was the crowd. They were energetic from start to finish, and they had set routines to respond to every single thing that took place!
They even borrowed from Wrigley Field by throwing the Duke home run balls back onto the field. They made their normal Pig sounds and even wore colorful hats when certain players stepped to the plate.
The SEC is not just about football anymore, and the NIL has changed life as we know it. The league secured nine of the 16 spots for this weekend, with three of the pairings being SEC vs. SEC.
Arkansas has never made it out to OKC, but that could change today when they start back up at 4 pm. I can only imagine what that celebration would look like.
GRADUATIONTravis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
Psalm 62:5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
Here’s hoping that today will go as smoothly as possible for everyone involved with the ceremony !
Thursday is set to be the tournament date for both Baseball, Boys & Girls Soccer and Track & Field x 2. We will add the other teams when the information becomes available.
When you consider that the suburb of Fayetteville, Arkansas is both the home of Tyson Foods and the headquarters for Wal-Mart, is nearby, it comes as a pleasant surprise that the Northwest Arkansas Naturals rely upon baseball to be enough to get folks to come out to their ballyard.
A large number of ballparks have moved in the direction of how many bells π and whistles can we add, but the AA farm club is comfortable with Americas past time being enough.
The lone exception is the scoreboard, which is the size of a double wide trailer.
$6.00 to park and a nice variety of ticket prices await you if you’re in the neighborhood.
