It’s our goal to provide our fans with the best game day experience possible and leave you satisfied with your experience from the time you park your vehicle to the time you pull out after a win. To help answer the basic questions that may pop up before you head to campus on game day, please look over the 2019 Softball Fan Guide linked above.


Arkansas softball wants your team to be a part of the National Anthem and starting lineups. Local youth teams will have the opportunity to stand side-by-side with Razorback softball players during pregame introductions.

Teams will be chosen on a first come, first served basis – we are allowing two anthem buddy teams per game. For tournament games when there isn’t a national anthem, the teams will be on the field for player introductions.
