Mizzou Athletics has announced updated stadium entry procedures for the upcoming StorageMart Border Showdown against Kansas, as well as for the remainder of the football season. The changes are in response to anticipated large crowds and ongoing construction at Memorial Stadium as part of the Centennial Project.
Starting Saturday, fans will be required to enter Memorial Stadium on the side where their seats are located. Ticket scanners will only allow access through the correct gate based on seat location. Additional staff will be present near gates to help direct fans and answer questions.
To assist those who park on one side of the stadium but have seats on another, courtesy shuttles will operate between Mick Deaver near Lot I and Gate 5W. These shuttles will run from two hours before kickoff until one hour after the game ends.
Entry instructions are as follows:
- Fans seated on the east side (Sections 101-110, Sections 301-315 in Tiger Deck, and student section) must use Gates 2E-6E.
- Fans seated on the west side (Sections 116-125) must use Gates 2W-6W.
- Fans in the south end zone (Sections 126-132) may enter through any gate.
- Entrances for premium areas such as Walsworth Family Columns Club, West Tower, and Multipli Club (Gate 7) remain unchanged.
"We understand we are requiring some of our fans to enter the stadium through gates they are not used to due to the stadium construction, but we appreciate everyone's understanding and flexibility," University of Missouri Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said. "Immediately after last week's game, we spent considerable time reviewing our stadium entry procedures and saw unacceptable congestion in the south concourse area that caused significant crowding issues and delays. We focused on ways to fix that issue and adjusted our preseason plan to enable the fastest ways to get all fans to their seats."
All gates will open two hours prior to kickoff throughout this season. Due to construction eliminating access via a north concourse, fans should expect increased congestion at available entry points and inside concourses.
