Traffic impacts expected ahead of sold-out Mizzou football game against Kansas Saturday

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The University of Missouri Tigers are set to face the University of Kansas Jayhawks for the first time since 2011 in the long-awaited border war showdown.

The sold-out game is also bringing plenty of buzz to Mizzou's campus, with SEC Nation set to host its pregame show on Carnahan Quad Saturday morning.

Good Morning America will kick off the pregame show at 7 a.m. with SEC Network's Laura Rutledge. Rutledge will then host SEC Nation until 11 a.m. Sports commentators Marty Smith and Ryan McGee will also be hosting their show, Marty & McGee, from 8 to 9 a.m.

Food, drinks, any bags, and signs on whiteboards or sticks are not allowed inside the SEC Nation audience area. Signs will also be checked for appropriateness before being allowed in.

Traffic is expected around Carnahan Quad and near Memorial Stadium on Stadium Boulevard, Providence Road, and Mick Deaver Memorial Drive.

Drivers on Providence Road and nearby Truman's Landing should expect to see the Mizzou Parking Shuttle operating and an increased number of ride-share drivers.

Fans parking around the stadium will be able to enter the lots starting at 8 a.m.

Due to stadium construction, fans must enter through the gate on the same side of their seats. For example, people sitting in the east sections of 101 to 110 must enter through the east gates.

Ticket scanners will not allow access to the other side. Fans sitting in the south part of the stadium can enter through any gate.

The football game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
