Razorback Stadium Seating Chart 
The Arkansas Razorbacks, also known as The Hogs, is the name of college sports teams at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Razorbacks are the only major sports team in the US with a porcine nickname.
The term properly applies to any of the all-male sports teams at the school (most noteably the football team which plays in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and the basketball team which plays in Bud Walton Arena), but without any other qualifier, it almost always refers to the football team. All-female teams at the university are known as "The Ladybacks".
In the 1980s the football team was coached by Ken Hatfield and established itself as a powerful running team. The Razorbacks challenged for the SWC title each year and went to the Cotton Bowl twice. Hatfield's teams established excellent regular season records but had difficulty winning bowl games.
In 1990 Broyles led the Razorbacks out of the Southwest Conference and into the Southeastern Conference setting off a major realignment in college football. In 1995 Arkansas won its first SEC Western Division Title in football.
In 1994 Nolan Richardson's basketball Hogs won the NCAA Tournament. Richardson's basketball teams challenged for the SEC and National Championships regularly during the 1990s, making three trips to the Final Four and two trips to the championship game.
On 10 December 1997, Houston Nutt was hired as head football coach for the Razorbacks (1998 season was his first full season) to replace his predecessor, Danny Ford who had been head coach since 1993. Since his arrival Nutt's teams have won more games than any other team in the Western division of the SEC.
On 28 March 2002, Stan Heath was hired as the head coach of the men's basketball team, following the somewhat controversial firing of Nolan Richardson. His teams have improved each season he has coached.
The Track and Field Team has been under the direction of John McDonnell for over 25 years (since the 1977-78 academic year). McDonnell's men's teams won 41 NCAA championships since 1984, including 11 cross country, 18 indoor track and 12 outdoor track. Also, 37 Southwest Conference Championships, and 38 of 40 SEC titles in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field. The Razorbacks, under his direction, won 5 National Triple Crowns. Arkansas is the only university to ever win even one National Triple Crown. The Track and Field Razorbacks men completely dominated the sport during the 1990s.
