Columbia, MO – The kickoff time for the University of Missouri football team’s September 7th game against Louisiana has been adjusted to 11:00 AM Central Time, Mizzou Athletics announced today, September 13, 2024. The change is linked to ongoing construction at Memorial Stadium and revised gate entry procedures for fans.
The alteration to the originally scheduled time aims to mitigate congestion related to limited access points caused by the closure of the north concourse and Gate 1. Construction on the north end zone is currently underway, impacting fan entry, notably for those intending to sit in Sections 126-132 of the south end zone, who can now utilize any open gate. Entrances for premium seating areas - the walsworth Family Columns club, the West Tower, and the Multipli Club (Gate 7) – will remain unchanged. Mizzou Athletics confirmed construction will pause before gates open on game days and be confined to the construction zone.
According to a statement from Mizzou Athletics, the university anticipates capacity crowds throughout the 2024 football season. The north end zone construction project is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2025 season.
