When I go to Mizzou i always get off at the business loop what a dump i was shocked that whole side of town is a shite show. You have the state's anchor university and Columbia should never look like that. The gameday experience could be way better we have the foundation just no direction whatsoever. Being in the SEC we have to invest more into football we should never have a performance like yesterday we're trying to squeak out 6 wins after going .500 in an SEC only schedule DISGRACEFUL

Why do we give opposing fans tickets at the 50 breaking up the student section? Makes no sense. Stick them in a corner or up high. Son said it’s been like that this year. Band then students then opposing fans then a couple empty sections that are supposedly for students they think but all the students that go cram in by the band. Put the damn students at midfield. Is there an SEC rule that prevents it?

LOL, I live here and it's literally the most dangerous part of town.

They're trying to revitalize it but it's not going to actually do sh*t:

Business loop is certainly a dump, but what can Mizzou really do to fix that? Most college towns have bad areas

The condition of Columbia is not even remotely our problem. In fact, it's something that we should be using to boost our gameday experience. I have news for ya, pretty much every town in America with 100k+ residents has some shitty areas. But most of Columbia is lovely, and our campus + downtown is one of the better that I've seen. Sure, I've seen prettier campuses, and I've seen prettier college downtown/bar districts, but Columbia and Mizzou do both quite well. We also have tons of great parks/natural attractions around town that are still pretty much hidden gems for locals and students.

You might notice that for as much shite that SEC fans give us for our pitiful gameday atmosphere, they usually have nice things to say about downtown and the university.
