UA Football Notes : UA-ULM game to be available on pay-per-view

Published: Friday, August 29, 2008 PRINT E-MAIL

The University of Arkansas Athletic Department and Razorback Sports Properties has announced the Arkansas-Louisiana-Monroe (ULM ) game on Saturday, Sept. 6, at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock will be broadcast on a pay-per-view basis.

Per Southeastern Conference television regulations, the game is only currently available through cable systems in Arkansas and Louisiana and on-line at ArkansasRazorbacks. com's RazorVision to residents of Arkansas and Louisiana. The cost of the pay-per-view broadcast is $ 34. 99.

The game may be made available outside Arkansas and Louisiana via ESPN GamePlan if the game is selected for the national pay-per-view package. ESPN GamePlan will announce games for its package next week. Cable and small dish owners can contact their service provider for ordering information.

" The University of Arkansas is pleased to partner with Razorback Sports Properties to offer a pay-per-view broadcast for the Arkansas-Louisiana-Monroe game, " Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. " As we near a sellout in Little Rock, we wanted to give fans that are not able to attend the game the opportunity to watch Bobby Petrino's first game in Little Rock as the Razorbacks' head coach. We appreciate the cable systems working with us to provide live television coverage of Razorback football throughout the state and in Louisiana. "

KATV's Scott Inman will handle playby-play duties for the broadcast with former Razorback Clint Stoerner serving as the color commentator. Another former Razorback quarterback, Quinn Grovey, will be the sideline reporter for both the pay-per-view broadcast and the radio network coverage.

" We are pleased to be able to offer the broadcast of this game to Razorback fans, " Razorback Sports Properties General Manager Ryan Gribble said. " It's an opportunity for fans that can't make it to War Memorial Stadium to see the game and the festivities associated with the 60 th Anniversary celebration of War Memorial Stadium. "

The Arkansas-ULM game is the rededication game of War Memorial Stadium as it celebrates its 60 th year. Arkansas native Lawrence Hamilton will sing the national anthem, followed by a military plane flyover. A small group of Razorback football players who played in the first War Memorial game in 1948 will serve as honorary co-captains of the Sept. 6 game. Video highlights of some of War Memorial Stadium's greatest moments will be played on the scoreboard video screens during pre-game and some of the timeouts. Pre-game activities scheduled for AT & T Trough The AT & T Trough at the University of Arkansas is going to be a busy place during football game days this fall, beginning with Saturday's 6 p.m. season-opener against Western Illinois in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The Trough is a tailgating area located north of the stadium near the Tyson Poultry Science Center. The area opens three hours before kickoff with the team walk-through scheduled for two hours and 15 minutes before game time. Immediately following the walkthrough, a pep rally for each game is scheduled to be led by the Razorback spirit squads.

The Trough has activities for all ages, including areas with televisions and seating for watching other games, and a Gatorade Kid's Zone, as well as entertainment provided by Jon and Deek from The Eagle 93. 3 FM. Former Razorback legend Tony Bua is going to be signing autographs at the Old Spice and Eggland's Best Eggs Legends Tent.

AQ Chicken, Backyard Burgers and Papa John's are going to be available with food to satisfy fans' appetites. Sponsor booths are going to be set up from AT & T, World of Wireless, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Old Spice and Eggland's Best.

Fans can also purchase Razorback merchandise from the Hog Heaven Store.

Also on site near the Legends Tent is an area reserved for the Razorback Helmet Cart, which was a fixture at past Little Rock games.
