TICKET OUTLETS

Big Red Valero Stores

Bryant Schools Athletic Director’s Office

Benton Schools Athletic Director’s Office

Tickets are $5 for all ages and available at all Big Red Valero locations across central Arkansas as well as the athletic directors’ offices at both schools. Tickets will be available at the gate.

This will be the 38th gridiron meeting between the two schools. Benton leads the series 24-12-1 but Bryant, with last-year’s win, has won ten of the last 12 meetings.

This is the only show that Dick has performed outside of California, so it is a huge opportunity for people in Arkansas to be able to see him.  Jerry Van Dyke will be there that night as well.

There are twenty towns you can choose for your family’s new home. One invests in its schools, has a focus on inquiry, AP courses and community, while the others are muddling through, arguing about their future.

Which one commands a higher premium for its houses?
