Arkansas outdoor home meets will allow limited spectators
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Fans will be able to attend Razorback track and field meets during the outdoor season as limited spectator attendance will be allowed in the east grandstands with socially distanced seating options.
Arkansas hosts two meets during the 2021 outdoor season, the John McDonnell Invitational on April 23-24 as well as the Arkansas Twilight on May 7.
Tickets for the pair of Razorback home meets go on sale Wednesday, April 7, at 9 a.m. (CT). Prices are $5 for adults while youth (17 & under) get in free.
Tickets for either meet can be purchased online or by calling the Razorback Ticket Center at 800/982-HOGS (4647) or 479/575-5151. They may also be purchased at John McDonnell Field starting one hour prior to each meet.
Masks are still required at Razorback home events. Entry into Arkansas home meets will be through the east gate with parking available in the following lots – 60, 56B, 47N, & 47W.
The Razorback track and field programs are eager to see the return of its fan base after going through an entire indoor season without the usual vocal support Arkansas fans provide, particularly in a year when the Hogs hosted the SEC and NCAA Indoor championships.
