The shuttle will pick up in Lot 56 and drop off at Gate B of Baum Stadium beginning two hours before game time. Return service to Lot 56 will be provided following the game, with pick up at Gate B. A wheelchair accessible van will be available as part of the shuttle service and will drop off fans curbside at Gate B.



The shuttle service will be in effect for the Razorbacks' series against Ole Miss (March 15-17), Mississippi State (March 29-31), LSU (April 12-14), Texas A&M (April 19-21) and Tennessee (May 10-12).
