The University of Missouri will welcome a sellout crowd of over 68,000 fans to Saturday's football game against Kansas State. Kickoff for the 13th-ranked Tigers' game is set for 6:00 p.m. and the game is being televised live on FSN.
With tickets being sold out, Tiger fans' best bet to secure tickets is through the official secondary provider of Mizzou Athletics, Seat Exchange. Visit www.seatexchange.com for details.
Here are some news/notes/tips for fans to keep in mind when coming to this weekend's game...
