Arkansas Basketball is making waves in the college basketball world, with the Razorbacks working their way back onto the bubble for March Madness after a bounce-back win at Vanderbilt. The team has a chance to solidify their resume when they face Mississippi State on Saturday. Although most bracketologists project Arkansas in the field of 68, they are not a lock for the NCAA Tournament yet.
Ryan White, the executive director of the Razorback Foundation, recently compared investing in Arkansas basketball to the stock market, emphasizing that now is the time to buy low on season tickets. The team has shown improvement under Coach John Calipari, securing wins over top teams in the past month.
However, the re-seating plan at Bud Walton Arena has caused some backlash from fans who are being priced out of attending games. The cost of season tickets for a family of four at Arkansas is the highest in the SEC, with a minimum $3,000 donation required on top of ticket costs. This has led to concerns about the long-term impact on the fanbase and generational support for the program.
Despite the financial challenges, the Razorbacks are aiming to increase revenue through the re-seating plan to cover rising expenses. The hope is that the renewed excitement around the team will translate into more season ticket sales, even as some longtime fans are considering dropping their tickets due to the increased costs.
