Title games to stay at War Memorial

The Arkansas high school football state championships won’t be leaving War Memorial Stadium any time soon. War Memorial and the Arkansas Activities Association signed a 10-year deal earlier this year to keep the games in Little Rock, stadium manager Charlie Staggs said. Staggs said War Memorial and the AAA always had a “gentleman’s agreement” before a contract was signed this summer. Under its terms, Staggs said War Memorial will receive 15 percent of ticket sales. There is a $ 35, 000 buyout if an entity wants to move a game to another site, Staggs said. State championship games have been played at War Memorial since 1983.
