LOL. The accommodations would not be up to your standards.
My recommendation would be Embassy Suites in Rogers. We used to stay there a lot before we moved here. You’re 20-30 minutes from the ballpark, but it’s an easy drive down I-49. The Embassy has spacious rooms, a complimentary breakfast including cooked to order eggs, omelets, etc., a nice bar, and easy access to numerous restaurants. It’s very close to the Walmart Amp and Top Golf as well.
PS.. if nightlife is your thing, most of that is in Fayetteville, primarily Dickson St.
If you stay in Fayetteville, our favorite places to eat are Herman’s, Doe’s, Hugo’s, Cheers at the Old Post Office, and the Catfish Hole. But there is no shortage of good places to eat.
What do we know about K State?
I love how on the latechsports.com splash homepage, our sponsor is country pleasin and shows a picture of a soon to be slaughtered hog. Coincidence????
I will be interested to see if Arkansas goes with their ace on Friday, or tries to save him for game 2. Their Sat/Sun starters faltered down the stretch, so I would expect Hagen Smith will pitch on Friday, which is good for the winner of our game. They do have a decent bullpen with some flame throwers.
I know nothing about KSU.
With Tech, I’m concerned about starting pitching, just never know what to expect.
We won't be buying tickets from the Arkansas site...sold out. LaTech and Ticketmaster sites are frozen up.
Comments...
First, no matter the RPI numbers, Lamar should have been in over Florida or one of the Belt teams. Total BS on committee members recusing themselves. You vote for my school and I'll vote for yours (wink, wink).
DBU should win the Tuscon Regional.
So, if Liberty had won the auto-bid, many think Tech would've gotten in....so which bubble team would have been out? Florida? Fat chance! Maybe one of the Belt schools, namely JMU who did not have the committee chairman in their hip pocket.
Arkansas has great pitching, think I heard it mentioned a top 5 pitching staff. Of course, we need to focus on K State, but if we are serious about advancing beyond the regional, we'll have to face the Pigs at some point.
Oh well, it is what it is. Go Dawgs!
Game time 8PM Friday night vs. K State. Excellent!!! No heat, more rest time for our guys. And, best of all, I will be home in time to watch the game .
Go Dawgs!!
