Students representing the Associated Student Government are partnering with several campus departments (Student Affairs, Office of Student Activities, UAPD, and Athletics) to the manage oversight for students wanting to camp before the Arkansas v. Texas football game on Saturday, September 11.

Students who have purchased a Razorbacks All-Access Pass are eligible to participate in the camping event which would allow them priority access to the Trough, the student section, in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for that game.

The camping procedures issued by the University of Arkansas in previous football seasons will be in place for the Razorbacks vs. Longhorns game on Saturday, September 11.

Camping activities and those who participate in them must abide by any and all University of Arkansas System, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, and State of Arkansas applicable laws, policies, and procedures. These procedures have been put in place in order to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of students, the University community, and the public, as well as safeguarding and preserving all University property and facilities.

Of specific note, the following must be followed:

• Pre-registration via Hogsync  for camping will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday September 8 and last until 1:00p.m. on Friday, September 10.
  • Please note that pre-registration does not reserve you a place in line. It is available so students can check in with more ease at the designated time. You do not need to pre-register; you may register your tent upon arrival.
• Camping will be permitted at Gate 17 for student entry to the game starting at exactly 9:00 a.m. on Friday, September 10. Tent space is limited, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Campers may register up to ten (10) campers per tent. Names and student ID numbers for all campers must be provided for registration to be complete.
• Campers must register (or check-in if pre-registered) with Student Affairs staff members or ASG student marshals who will be present for this purpose. All registered campers must be currently enrolled UA students.
• Check-in will end at 10:00 p.m. on September 10 and campers cannot set up after that time. Failure to do this could result in their spot being lost. Camping registration will close at that time.
• All registered campers must attend their scheduled classes, drills, labs, and other academic commitments during the camping period. Camping is not an excuse to skip class, miss a test, or submit an assignment late.
• One person from each tent must always remain with the tent. If a tent is left unattended at any time, the tent may be removed by University or ASG personnel. Through the tent registration process, campers will be asked to provide two tent captains’ names and telephone numbers. These individuals will serve as the contact persons for their registered tent.
• Tents and other camping equipment must be removed by 8:00 a.m. Saturday, September 11.  The full tent party must be present at 3:00 p.m., three hours prior to kickoff, to secure their rightful spot in line. Failure to remove tents by this time may result in loss of their spot in line and/or removal of their tent and other campus equipment.
• Cutting and other forms of saving spots will not be tolerated and violators will be asked to move to the back of the line. Students who witness cutting or saving spots are asked to report it to student affairs staff or ASG student marshals accordingly.
• We strongly encourage all campers to bring hand sanitizer, and wear masks when unable to be six feet apart.
• Tents or equipment must not be affixed to University property.  Tents must not be staked into the ground. Building, driveway, street, parking lot, and stairway access must not be blocked or compromised from entry/exit.
• University electrical outlets must not be used.
• Grilling, cooking, heating, or any use of open flames is strictly prohibited. Generators that emit gas or fumes are not permitted.
• The campus noise ordinance must be followed.
• Every tent is responsible for disposing of trash properly. Campers should bring trash bags to collect trash at their campsite. Trash must be disposed of in receptacles provided by the University or event organizers or sponsors.
• All policies outlined in the U of A Code of Student Life apply.
• Alcohol and tobacco use is prohibited.
• Non-adherence to these restrictions may result in loss of camping and/or ticket privileges

Seating and Admittance to the Stadium for the Texas Game

Camping students will receive numbers indicating their position in the line for admittance when they register their group.  Students who camped, including Razorback Foundation Collegiate Members, will enter the stadium in the order in which they camped. 

After all campers have been admitted to the stadium, Razorback Foundation Collegiate Members who have lined up at the appropriate location will be wrist banded and allowed into the stadium.  After Razorback Foundation Collegiate Members have been admitted, non-camping access pass holders at Gate 17 will be admitted. 

Students who are participating are strongly encouraged to review the Razorback Fan Code of Conduct as well.
