FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will play Memphis at Dickey-Stephens Park in 2017.
The Razorbacks and Tigers are scheduled to play there on April 19 next year. It is the eighth consecutive season the Diamond Hogs have scheduled to play at the park, and the third time the Tigers will be the opponent.
Arkansas and Memphis will play the night before at Baum Stadium. It will be the Tigers' first trip to Fayetteville since 1994 when the Razorbacks still played at George Cole Field.
Memphis is one of several known nonconference opponents for the Razorbacks next season. Arkansas will play home weekend series against Miami (Ohio), Bryant and Pacific, and midweek games against Grand Canyon, Grambling State and Louisiana-Monroe, coach Dave Van Horn said last month.
The Razorbacks are also scheduled to play Nebraska, Arizona and Oklahoma State at the Frisco College Baseball Classic, as well as games at Louisiana Tech and Missouri State. Van Horn said Arkansas has agreed to play a nonconference game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., against an opponent to be determined.
A team spokesperson said last week that Arkansas is close to releasing its full schedule for the 2017 season, but is still awaiting some game contracts.
