The original design held just over 13,000 spectators and cost almost $500,000. The stadium name didn’t last long, however, and was renamed Bailey Stadium in honor of the current governor of Arkansas, Carl Bailey. The name change only lasted three years and the Stadium returned to Razorback stadium in 1941. In 1947, the stadium expanded to 21,000 spectators by adding seats to the west side of the stadium. Soon after in 1950, more stands were added to the east side raising the capacity to 31,000. By 1965, an upper deck was added increasing seating to over 43,000.

In 1949, the track was taken out and the school lowered the playing field. This change allowed for more seating to be added and this raised seating capacity to 55,000. In the 1950s, the south end zone added just over 5,000 bleacher seats. In 1975, the upper deck was completed which brought the stadium to a whopping 75,000.

Towards the end of the 1970s, the south-end bleachers were expanded bringing the capacity up to 76,000. In 1980, the stadium added even more seating, expanding to almost 84,000 capacity.

The last upgrade for the stadium was completed in 2014 when the school installed two large video boards. It is the second largest football stadium in America, only sitting 1,000 seats behind Michigan Stadium which is 10
