Talk:Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium

Photos

Just added a bunch of photos of this beautiful stadium, I had a great time. I also expanded information on all the facilities housed inside and immediately adjacent to the stadium (like the Athletics Center). --Bobak 21:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Name change from Bailey Stadium

Though I did not find a Web reference as to the exact year the name was changed from Bailey Stadium to Razorback Stadium, I do know from prior research that it was at the same time J. William Fulbright was removed as University of Arkansas president, which was 1941.

Fulbright was a friend of Carl E. Bailey, the former governor whose name was on the stadium. Bailey's successor and political opponent, Homer Adkins, caused the legislature to reorganize the University Board of Trustees so that he could "pack" it with his cronies; the first two acts of the packed board were to remove Fulbright from the presidency (their primary purpose) and Bailey's name from the stadium.

This incident lead directly to Amendment 33 to the Arkansas Constitution, which prohibits most changes to the governing bodies of state institutions. (Ironically, Adkins' supporters also backed the amendment as it entrenched his packed UofA board; that made the Razorback Stadium name stick.) Adkins won re-election the same year (1942), but two years later Fulbright beat him for United States Senate.--RBBrittain 06:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
