Hogs fans lining up for a ‘classic’ game

As the top-rated and defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide arrive in town Thursday for Saturday’s game against the 10th-ranked University of Arkansas Razorbacks, anxious businesses and nervous fans are hoping for a game that will go down as a classic.

High-roller fans in recreational vehicles are parking near the university and hotels are filling up. Single tickets for the sold-out game are being offered for $700 online, although another site offers a relative bargain with four tickets for $500.

With a national television audience watching, Hog fans are gearing up for a game that some are calling the biggest in decades.
