Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport.
"Well, it's real exciting to be back," Malzahn said. "You know I had a great experience last year. After the first season, you kind of know more of what to expect, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the fans."
Malzahn also offered one last reflection on the Tigers' second-largest A-Day crowd in history, trailing only his first year.
"What really stood out to me first of all is the crowd, 70,000 fans when the weather wasn’t great, it just gave a boost for our players, our coaches, it does nothing but help your recruiting," Malzahn said. "As far as on the field, I think we accomplished kind of what we were looking for."
Malzahn has another Tiger Trek stop in Cullman on Thursday.
