The University of Missouri starts the 2022 football campaign with a rare Thursday night matchup when the Tigers host Louisiana Tech at Faurot Field tomorrow in year three under head coach Eli Drinkwitz.
Kickoff is set for 7pm.
In addition to seeing St. Louis area high school standouts like quarterback Brady Cook and Wide Receivers Luther Burden III, Dominic Lovett and Mookie Cooper, the game is the first opportunity for fans to see changes to the gameday experience at Memorial Stadium under Athletic Director Desiree Reed Francois, who just finished her first full year leading the department.
What to expect off the field:
New concession options, including grab and go choices, a new food locker system and mobile ordering.
Fewer in-stadium ads and more replays
Self-service ticket scanners at all entrances
Tiger Town, a family-themed tailgate experience, moves to the front of Mizzou Arena
