Traffic and parking updates ahead of a chilly Mizzou home game

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Football fans heading to the 11 a.m. kickoff between No. 18 Missouri and No. 7 Texas at Memorial Stadium on Saturday must be aware of game parking and traffic impacts.

Permit and tailgate lots will be open at 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

According to the University of Missouri, if you are a permit holder, other alternate parking spots will be available. The alternate locations are listed below.

Other lot closures include CG17 (metered) and Virginia Avenue lots, which are closed to regular parking on game day.

Gates to Memorial Stadium open at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

For MU home games, Go COMO runs a free shuttle straight from downtown to the roundabout at Tiger Avenue and Hospital Drive, just north of Memorial Stadium.

Fans are encouraged to allow for extra time when traveling, as road construction along I-70 could impact traffic flow across the state. MoDOT asks drivers to follow the posted speed limit and be aware of workers.

The ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Team is also tracking temperatures close to freezing during tailgating time, with an area-wide freeze warning is in effect until 8 A.M. Fans are encouraged to wear layers.
