1.3 miles to Bud Walton · Season runs November–MarchLA ROCA is a 20-minute walk (or 4-minute drive) from Bud Walton Arena, home of Razorback basketball. Park at the house, walk over, and skip the arena parking scrum entirely — then walk home past Dickson Street while everyone else sits in the exit queue.
Game night, done right
Bud Walton on a big SEC night is one of the loudest buildings in college basketball, and the Calipari-era schedule keeps delivering marquee home dates. Arena parking is the worst part of every game night — lots fill 90 minutes before tip and take just as long to empty. Staying this close turns that whole problem into a pleasant walk through campus.
- 20-minute walk or quick rideshare to the arena — no parking pass needed.
- November–March season means baseball-offseason rates on most weekends.
- Warm up pre-game on Dickson Street (1.2 mi) — food and bars fill up on game nights, so go early.
- Outdoor TV and full kitchen back at the house for the late SEC window games.
