Three minutes will be placed on the videoboards inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium following a big win to delay the field rush and allow the visiting team, staff and officials to exit the field. At the conclusion of the three minutes, fans will be allowed down to the field to celebrate.
Arkansas last rushed the field following last season’s 19-14 upset victory over No. 4 Tennessee on Oct. 5.
“The safety of our student-athletes and the student-athletes from the visiting institution is extremely important to all of us,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said via press release. “By implementing this new policy we are allowing the visiting team to clear the field so our fans can safely join our team on the field to celebrate the big win. We look forward to our fans and students complying with this policy the first time we get to implement it so we can all enjoy a huge win.”
