From Knitting to Legacy: Razorbacks Honor ‘The Girl Who Knits’ by Displaying Her Iconic Banner in the Stadium

The Arkansas Razorbacks have taken a heartfelt step to honor one of their most beloved fans, Christina Barnes, widely known as “The Girl Who Knits.” For years, Christina has been a fixture in the Hog Pen at Baum-Walker Stadium, where her hand-knit banner reading “Woo Pig” on one side and “Hogs” on the other has become an iconic symbol of Razorback spirit.

Christina’s knitted banner, which she started creating years ago, has become a cherished part of game day at Arkansas baseball games. The banner, tied securely in place at the stadium with carabiners, is not just a piece of cloth—it’s a symbol of dedication, passion, and the unbreakable connection between the Razorbacks and their fans. Now, the team is taking her legacy one step further by permanently displaying the iconic banner in the stadium as a tribute to her unwavering support.

In addition to this honor, Christina was invited to a VIP experience during a recent Razorbacks game. She was given exclusive access to behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium, met with players, and even received custom Razorbacks merchandise. The VIP treatment provided her with an unforgettable game day experience, showcasing how much her dedication means to the team and the fans who fill the stands.

By immortalizing her banner in the stadium and providing Christina with a special game day experience, the Razorbacks are not only honoring a dedicated fan but also strengthening the bond between the team and its loyal supporters. Christina Barnes’ legacy as “The Girl Who Knits” will forever be woven into the fabric of Razorback baseball, and her presence will continue to inspire future generations of fans.
