Arkansas and Texas A&M played against each other in AT&T Stadium for the sixth time Saturday night.
The teams are scheduled to continue to meet in Arlington through the 2024 season.
“It’s a win for Arkansas,” Razorbacks Athletic Director Jeff Long said of the neutral site game. “It gets us into our largest fan base outside the state of Arkansas.
“The recruiting down there is very important, and it’s not just recruiting of athletes, it’s recruiting of students. We’re getting a large number of highquality students out of the Dallas area.”
Arkansas and Texas A&M played three nonconference games in AT&T Stadium from 2009-2011 before the Aggies left the Big 12 Conference for the SEC.
At Texas A&M’s insistence, the series was played on a home-and-home basis the Aggies’ first two seasons in the SEC — at College Station in 2012 and Fayetteville in 2013 — before returning to Arlington.
