Seems like a hassle getting to that remote part of the world
Bentonville and XNA (about 30 mins from Fayetteville) should upgrade to an international airport soon, largely thanks to nearby Walmart and Tyson. Northwest Arkansas is growing faster than the infrastructure can keep up with unfortunately lol
Tulsa and Springfield are also about 2 hours away for other options to fly into. Not a bad drive from either one.
Don't know what that remote part of the world stuff is all about.
Our crew is driving in for the game, hotel is two miles from stadium, can't wait for a football Saturday in Fayetteville.
There was a time when I’d look forward to a 10 hour drive. That time has passed. One flight ticket left on Expedia for $613. After that, it goes to $708.
I like football, but not that much. Will stick to my large, curved, hi-def screen with fridge and clean bathrooms nearby…
That way I can also monitor my lawn and keep the kids off it.
I understand completely......we drove straight back from Miami the next day after the Orange Bowl. Stupidest thing we've ever done!!!! We've got a crew of 5 or 6 that will do a couple of roadies every year. We can do 10 hours standing on our heads. Plus, airports and car rentals can be a struggle for our bunch.

any place that isn't immediately near a decent sized city is considered remote to many people
on an aside, i've heard that bentonville now rivals moab as a premier biking destination
Not “off road biking trails”.
Mountain biking.
Nothing rivals Moab and the legendary slickrock.
Bentonville is more of a competitor to Asheville.
I’m actually trying to plan a MTB trip around the game as an excuse for going on a road trip.
No luck yet. Not a lot of MTB fans in Ohio, or at least ones that are in to it enough to take trips out west to do it.
I guess a couple of Sam Walton’s grandsons are really in to MTB and have been funding extensive trail building around Bentonville.

They helped develop a 38-mile trail called the Razorback Greenway that goes from south Fayetteville almost all the way up to Missouri.
People assume the Waltons heavily invest in Arkansas athletics but they really don't, it's all mountain biking and art lol. Crystal Bridges is pretty nice though.

It's lower level, but in 1 of the corners.

Am also looking at Lot 56, but it might be for Arkansas season ticket holder only?. We will have 4 cars traveling together from Cincinnati.
Also, just read that free parking is available at Baum-Walker stadium, about a mile south of the football stadium, and there is a shuttle that runs back and forth starting 4 hours before kickoff and until all the cars are gone after the game. That might be the best bet for us since we are staying in Harrison, Arkansas Saturday evening. Those lots are just south of lot 56.

We picked up four tix at the last row of the visitors section. I don't know that is will matter for color choices. I'm sure it will be sweltering in all colors.

Come Early, Be Loud, Wear Black.......It will be hot, but no way will it be as brutal as at Indiana last year. That sun was killer!
