Men's Basketball Reseating and Reparking Plan for the 2025-26 Season
Letter From Hunter Yurachek and Ryan White
Dear Razorback Nation,
We are deeply appreciative of your continued support of our program. Your investment has helped our student-athletes achieve unprecedented success, including the program’s best Learfield Directors’ Cup finishes in history, eight NCAA team championships and a conference best 37 Southeastern Conference championships in the past seven years. We are grateful for your generosity!
As successful as our athletics program has been in the past, the changing dynamics within intercollegiate athletics necessitate a revised game plan for our future. Last November, we shared with you some of the challenging aspects of today’s intercollegiate athletics. The ever-changing landscape of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), the pending final approval of the House vs. NCAA lawsuit, future revenue sharing with student-athletes and additional scholarship costs will all have a major impact on our program.
We have already taken meaningful steps to help ensure that Razorback Athletics can continue to compete and win in the SEC and nationally, including conducting a comprehensive budget and resources review, adding corporate logos on playing surfaces and implementing a student-athlete scholarship enhancement fee.
In addition, we shared our decision to implement a reset on all seating and parking associated with Bud Walton Arena for the 2025-26 men’s basketball season. It will mark the first comprehensive reseating and reparking since Bud Walton Arena opened in 1993.
The Men’s Basketball Reseating and Reparking Process will:
- Create a more equitable process for Razorback Foundation members to select their ticket and parking locations.
- Provide an opportunity to recognize the loyalty of current season ticket holders by ensuring they will be guaranteed their current ticket quantity within the arena, as long as they meet the current membership level requirement for that quantity.
- Through the implementation of new ticket limits, provide additional Razorback Foundation members with an opportunity to secure men’s basketball season tickets.
- Enhance Annual Fund revenue, increasing support to help mitigate increased expenses related to anticipated revenue sharing and additional scholarships for Razorback student-athletes.
- Be an essential part of our ongoing commitment to position our men’s basketball program and each of our other eighteen sports programs for success.
