Mizzou completes sell out of all home 2024 football games
Missouri football was once an afterthought as the student body feverishly waited for November and the start of basketball season.
Those days are long gone though, and Tuesday’s announcement by the university’s athletic department drove the point home further. Missouri, which has been ranked all season and is still barely in the AP Poll at No. 25, which is enough of an indication that things are just different now with Tigers football, achieved a pretty cool standard when it was announced it had sold out reserve seating for every home game this season.
Tiger Nation has now reserve seating for EVERY home game inside Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium this season.

That achievement became official as Missouri sold out its reserve seating for the regular-season finale on Nov. 30 against Arkansas in Columbia.
The 6-2 Tigers have another home game before the late-season showdown with the Razorbacks, as they host old Big 12 rival Oklahoma on Nov. 9 after a bye in Week 10.
Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes might’ve been dashed last Saturday in that 34-0 thumping at Alabama, but Tigers football still matters and Mizzou’s fans are showing that in 2024.
“We couldn’t have created an elite home-field advantage without you,” tweeted the Missouri athletic department in Tuesday’s announcement that shows the days of just waiting around in September and October for basketball season to start are long over.
10-2 is still possible. A much needed bye week before playing our final 4 games. Need to get healthy.
“Missouri football was once an afterthought as the student body feverishly waited for November and the start of basketball season.”
Lmao! Exactly how far back are you going, like 20+ years because it’s been at least that since Mizzou Football was an afterthought.
Ha ha, a basketball building that size is not a comparison to the foorball stadium.
I mean who cares if any past game was a perfect sell out or not. This is more a study in ticket availability than in popular demand! You can’t sell every seat unless you work at making their purchase method easy and well known. I’ve been to lots of games where we had to drive 21/2 hours before we could get reliable information on available tickets.
Heck yeah! We sold out our 30k seat high school stadium, so take that!
Go sit in the worst 50% of those 70k and up capacity stadiums …. Because if you like that better than modern TV presentations ?, you are a football moron.
