Photos: Take a look at Arkansas' new student skyboxes (facilities)

Remember when Arkansas announced its student skybox concept a couple weeks ago? The Hogs have provided FootballScoop with a glimpse of how it'll look.

First, a quick refresher: After consulting with student groups, Arkansas established four skyboxes - holding 150 spectators each - allowing student groups to reserve a dedicated space to entertain and/or enjoy the game.

“Student groups wanted a defined areas to congregate together, especially during Homecoming and Family Weekend when they are hosting alums and parents," spokesman Chris Freet said in a statement. "Based on his recommendation, we have moved the existing tents forward so they are flush against the seating area and we’ve created an intimate environment that can be reserved on a game-by-game basis for less than $5 per person.”

The photos you see below aren't the finished product - TVs, couches and walls still need to be installed - but they general glimpse of the idea.

As someone who loves to sit high up and watch everything develop, I have to say I approve. Arkansas has done a nice job using space it already had to give students a great place to watch the game for those who want, and for those who don't want to watch the game but still enjoy the stadium atmosphere.
