Tailgating and bag policies in place ahead of Mizzou football game on Saturday

The University of Missouri Tigers are gearing up for their fourth sold-out game of the season against the Vanderbilt Commodores and parking lots near and around Memorial Stadium will be full once again with thousands of Mizzou fans heading into Columbia.

To help promote safety and a positive game day experience, Mizzou football asks fans to be responsible and follow tailgating rules.

Any tents or canopies can not be bigger than 10 feet by 10 feet and are not allowed to block sidewalks or driving lanes. All tailgating extras like grills or generators must stay within the designated tailgate spot and not spill out onto the walkways.

At each lot, parking attendants will have free blue recycling bags and fans are encouraged to use them for their recycling. All hot coals that are used for grilling must be completely put out and thrown out in the designated hot coal bins at the entrances of every lot to prevent fires.

All generators are prohibited from campus parking garages.

Personal drones are not allowed on Mizzou property and all animals must be leashed and cleaned up after.

Following the state of Missouri's alcohol laws, anyone under the age of 21 is not allowed to purchase, have, or consume alcoholic beverages at any time. Bulk quantities of alcohol, like kegs, are also not allowed.

When entering the stadium, fans are asked to avoid bringing a bag into the stadium however, small clutches and large plastic bags are allowed.

Any bags that are larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches must be clear and do not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches. This can be a standard clear tote or a one-gallon plastic freezer bag.

Popular bags like backpacks, fanny packs, and cinched bags are not allowed.

Every fan is allowed one bag and can also put extra items on their person in their pockets or around their neck. In cold weather, blankets are allowed. In the case of needing a non-approved bag for medical reasons, fans are encouraged to call ahead to verify if they qualify. Fans with medical exceptions also need to go through special screening at gates 2W and 2E.

The university asks fans to remain respectful and fun and to report any dangerous or disruptive behavior to a university official.
