Rather than starting from scratch, the better solution is bring in a jackhammer and remove a few rows worth of concrete from the east side and then build a new retaining wall that will allow for a wider field. Even better would be tear out the north and south end zone bleachers and sell them for scrap.

What you are left with is still large enough to handle the state playoffs, regular season high school, Salt Bowl, and UALR if the money is there.

Once the hogs are gone, War Memorial could be remodeled into a nice, 30K venue that would work for soccer, UALR football, a possible bowl game, concerts, etc. Real hard to imagine sitting like sardines, on burning hot metal bleachers, for Guns & Roses next weekend. Maybe the time is right for the city to invest in the stadium, UALR football, etc. Still not sure about the viability of UALR football, but now is the time if it ever going to happen.
