FAYETTEVILLE — Two large outdoor screens will show Arkansas’ NCAA Tournament game against Oral Roberts on Saturday night on Dickson Street in Fayetteville.
The screens will be located near Dickson Street Theater and Farrell’s Lounge Bar & Grill. The game between the Razorbacks and Golden Eagles is scheduled to begin at 6:25 p.m. at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The game will be televised by TBS.
Arkansas (24-6) is playing in the Sweet 16 of the tournament for the first time since 1996.
ORU (18-10) is in the round of 16 for the first time since 1974.
Dickson Street traffic will not be shut down during the game and those who attend are encouraged to comply with the state’s mask mandate, according to a UA release.
"(The screens) are not intended to serve as a watch party destination," the UA release states. "The screens are being added to encourage patronage of local business and enhance the experience for those frequenting the entertainment district."
