FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – On October 9th, 2010, The Razorbacks will be back in Arlington to take on their old Southwest Conference foes, Texas A&M for the 2nd Annual Southwest Classic.

The 2010 game will mark the second meeting between the former Southwest Conference foes since the Razorbacks joined the Southeastern Conference in time for the 1992 season. Arkansas and Texas A&M are scheduled to play in Arlington annually through the 2018 season.

Tickets are now on sale for the 2010 game on ArkansasRazorbacks.com. The new state-of-the-art Dallas Cowboys Stadium will provide seating, amenities and ticketing opportunities starting at $85. University of Arkansas current full-time students will be able to purchase tickets for $50 with a valid student ID card.

"We are excited about participating in the Southwest Classic, an annual event that will serve as a regular season bowl game in a professional football venue," Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. "We are inviting Razorback fans everywhere to join us for the renewal of this football rivalry this October. Throughout this process, we worked with Texas A&M and the Dallas Cowboys to establish a range of ticket prices that are comparable to other neutral site college football games and are favorable to other entertainment options in the area. We are hopeful that Razorback fans will make plans to join us each year in Arlington to cheer on the Hogs and be part of this special college football event."

Ticket brochures for the Southwest Classic have been mailed to Razorback Foundation members, football season ticket holders and various alumni groups. Brochures are also available by visiting the Razorback Ticket Office or you may download the brochure at ArkansasRazorbacks.com.
