The Arkansas Razorback fight song will be heard Saturday throughout War Memorial Stadium.

That's when the Hogs will kickoff against the University of Louisiana at Monroe.

"It's our bread and butter, games, we've got to have them," said Charlie Staggs, War Memorial Stadium Manager.

And the stadium has to undergo a makeover.

"We put the hog on the field yesterday."

Something new, the SEC logo on the field.

You can't see them, but workers are using a blower to clean below the stands.

Up top, guys are making sure the video replay system is ready in an instant and washing windows.

Then from the gridiron, to the street, there may be signs up saying stadium event parking only, but come game day on Van Buren Street:

"You guys are more than welcome to come by here and park. we will have the barbeque pit going," said Charles Green.

But there will be a charge, for parking.

"We might have a little charge on the side, but we will work that out when you get here."

The Road Hogs have started coming in to Rick's Armory early, to get a good park.

Now the only thing everyone is waiting for are the Hogs.

Staggs said, "This is always an exciting time for us here at this stadium, when the razorbacks come in."
