Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium O ne of the most exciting things about the University of Arkansas campus was the football games. Students old and new could not wait for that first down or to call those Hogs. Excitement and energy filled the air at every home game as dedicated fans await¬ ed the team to step onto the field. Anticipation was at an all-time high this year with the new expansion of the sta¬ dium. It had been a long year for those working on the sta¬ dium renovations, but every¬ thing came together, includ¬ ing the Jumbotron, for the first home game for the Razorbacks. The Hogs had a great beginning to the 2000 season. As Razorback fans and play¬ ers, young and old, stepped onto their home turf, they found it just as they remem¬ bered it—a familair place like no other. -story by Julie Craig fame September 2jri938| w ArkarAs 21m- Oklahoma A M Aggies 7 938 — Baylor itac raz kmai t WzosV) (rc v» If ' 000 1 wRazoroacA R)ec. 3, 1999 ecfeJ A Ci if 2 ' 000 SMARTCVWfl«eob !

Sponsored mainly by the Student Alumni Board and the Arkansas Alumni Association, students were encouraged to come out and show their sup¬ port of the Hogs. Things kicked off with a pep rally Sunday night to get the students charged up for a fun-filled week. After the pep rally everyone headed down to Dickson Street to paint the town—literally. The Greek houses and residence halls were given a window on Dickson Street to paint to help get the town fired up as well. “Painting the window has been a ton of fun. We’ve made a night of it, hanging out and even ordering pizza,” Paula King said, a resident of Gregson Hall. Monday through Thursday was filled with some free food at the Hot Dogs for Homecoming; some friendly competition in the intramural events, including rock climb¬ ing; and “Sell-A-Hog,” a bene¬ fit for the United Way. The real fun started on Friday with the Razorback Stampede. Greek houses and residence halls each made a float for the parade, which traveled around downtown Fayetteville, ending at the Greek Theatre. Crowds gath¬ ered to watch and to attempt to catch beads, cups and other trinkets that were thrown from floats. “The parade was a blast, but it was way too short,” Dara Daniel said. Then another pep rally ensued at the Greek Theatre, featuring alumni cheerleaders. Senior Leslie Cobb was then named the 2000 Homecoming queen. David Scott said it best with, “I think Homecoming is just a good time where one can get to know more about the University and to develop clos¬ er relationships with the alum¬ ni, friends and family.” -story by Missy Nauman FOOTBALL HOMECOMING • CampUS life) 13
