In the year 2001, the stadium was expanded to its current 72,000 seat capacity from its previous capacity of 51,000 seats. In addition to the additional seating, several improvements were made. A new scoreboard was installed with the largest Smartvision LED screen (often incorrectly referred to as a Jumbotron; it is nicknamed the “PigScreen”) incorporated into it. Also, luxury boxes, expanded food court, revitalized locker rooms, and the Bob and Marilyn Bogle Academic Center were all part of the improvements that were made. The Frank Broyles Athletics Center, home to the Razorback Athletic Department and named after Frank Broyles, is located at the north end of the Stadium; the Center was built in 1975 and renovated in 1994 and also features the Jerry Jones/Jim Lindsey Hall of Champions, a museum to University of Arkansas sports.

The stadium is not the only “home” of the Razorback football team. Some of the “home” games (usually 2 or 3 each season) are played in War Memorial Stadium which is located in Little Rock, Arkansas, approximately 190 miles (by interstate) from the University of Arkansas main campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas. After somewhat of a statewide controversy (some people wanted all the games played in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback stadium, while some people wanted games to continue being split with War Memorial Stadium), in 2001 an agreement was signed with War Memorial Stadium to allow “home” games to be played at War Memorial for the next 15 seasons.
