Mizzou Football Announces New Entrance Policies: The Buzz

After many fans at the Missouri Tigers' season opener on Aug. 28 were inconvenienced by congestion in the concourse of Memorial Stadium, new policies have been put in place for the remainder of the season, the athletic department announced Wednesday.

Going forward, fans will be required to enter the stadium on the side where their seats are. Tickets will not scan at the gates on the opposite sides.

Here's a look at what gates fans will need to enter through, per the press release.

• Fans sitting on the east side (Sections 101-110, Sections 301-315 in the Tiger Deck, and the student section) must enter via Gates 2E-6E
• Fans sitting on the west side (Sections 116-125) must enter via Gates 2W-6W
• Fans sitting in the south end zone (Sections 126-132) can enter via any gate
• Entrances to the premium Walsworth Family Columns Club, the West Tower and the Multipli Club (Gate 7) remain unchanged

Gates will still open for the stadium two hours before kick off for each game.

These challenges are brought on by ongoing construction of the North end zone of the stadium, which is on pace to be completed ahead of the 2026 football season.

"We're going to ask our fans to bear with us as they experience this season just a little bit differently," director of athletics Laird Veatch said in a press conference ahead of the season. "We've been planning for this, as you might imagine, really, since last season ended, so we feel very confident that it should be fairly seamless."
