Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is an American football stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas[7] and serves as the home field of the University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team since its opening in 1938. The stadium was formerly known as Razorback Stadium since 1941 before the name of Donald W. Reynolds, an American businessman and philanthropist, was added in 2001. The playing field in the stadium is named Frank Broyles Field, honoring former Arkansas head football coach and athletic director Frank Broyles.[8]

During the 2000-2001 renovations, Razorback Stadium increased the seating capacity from 50,019[9] to 72,000, with an option to expand capacity to 76,000 with the "temporary" bleacher seating atop the south end.[10] The current seating capacity is 76,212.
