Hypotheical Situation[edit]

Let's say the local university, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, decided to field a Division I-A team. Would they use War Memorial Stadium, or would the University of Arkansas force them somewhere else?--BigMac1212 01:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The University of Arkansas has to rent a spot to play at War Memorial; they do not own the stadium. War Memorial can rent to whomever they want. That, plus the University of Arkansas has been trying to pull out of that stadium for awhile, so I don't think they would be too broken up about an excuse to play less games there.

Pre-War Memorial[edit]

Does anyone know where the Razorbacks played in Little Rock prior to the building of War Memorial? Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 16:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I asked a knowledgeable person and they said Quigley Stadium. (which is the current home of the Little Rock Central Tigers) Cardsplayer4life (talk) 19:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I guess I missed the article for it. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie 21:38, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arkansas Diamonds[edit]

According to some anecdotal accounts and this article from the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, the semi-pro Arkansas Diamonds used War Memorial Stadium (among others) as a home field in the late 1960s. Does anyone have any more information, because I'd love to add this to the stadium's tenants. Sadly, despite the website citing all the old Arkansas-Gazette articles, the archives on the paper's website only go back to the early 1990s. BZA99 (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

WP:USPLACE is for titling articles about places, meaning the article on the city of Little Rock is titled Little Rock, Arkansas instead of just Little Rock. The title of this article is the stadium's name, War Memorial Stadium, but since there are several stadiums with the same name, we add the state. City names are only needed in cases where there is more than one instance of a title in the same state. So unless there's a War Memorial Stadium in another part of Arkansas, the city name isn't needed. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:53, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
