Hogs Set Dates for Spring Practice, Homecoming, Family Weekend
Important dates for the Arkansas Razorbacks have been set starting with the team's spring practice beginning on March 7.
Arkansas will hold 14 practices prior to the program's annual spring game at noon Saturday, April 13, inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The spring game weekend will also feature the A Club Spring Reunion and a celebration of life for legendary Arkansas Athletics employee Dean Weber, who passed away last week. Weber's celebration of life will be held inside Bud Walton Arena at 4 p.m. following the spring game. The A Club reunion is for all former Arkansas student-athletes, for more information contact the Razorback Foundation.
The Razorbacks kick off the 2024 season — Sam Pittman's fifth as the head coach — in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium against UAPB on Aug. 31. Two weeks later, UAB visits Fayetteville on Sept. 14 for the season opener at Razorback Stadium, when this year's U of A Hall of Honor inductees will be recognized. The game vs. the Blazers will also serve as part of the university's Family Weekend. Details surrounding Family Weekend will be updated at family.uark.edu as they are made available.
Homecoming is set for Oct. 19 when the Hogs host LSU. The homecoming date will be the earliest the two schools have ever met inside the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas Alumni Association will host homecoming activities throughout the week leading up to kickoff on Saturday. Event details will be available by visiting homecoming.uark.edu.
Arkansas will honor the military in the final home game of the season against Louisiana Tech on Nov. 23. The Hogs' seniors will also be honored that day as part of Senior Day.
