Good for Kentucky. Commonwealth Stadium is in desperate need of a facelift.




Yeah, you wouldn't know that it's the newest stadium in the SEC just looking at it right now.

No, but that's where the "quick and lazy" part comes in. Feel free to prove me wrong by posting a link to more recent numbers, but I feel they won't be too terribly different.

Looks nice, too bad Kentucky plays in it.

The facade is supposedly going to be made of Limestone.

The Florida game and the SCAR game were both sell outs. The aTm game has already sold out. Capacity is 67,124. You can confirm the attendance numbers on the ESPN box scores with minimal effort.

I like the modern and minimalist elements.

Thanks for the stadium pron.

Just go to this page and look at the before and afters and you may not think it looks bad. There are sliding pictures that show the differences. LINK

Has Mizzou sold out a single game all year? Because a quick and lazy Google search told me that as of Oct 23 yall were dead last in the SEC for attendance by % capacity. In what is one of the best years of Mizzou football ever, that is really really bad.



Totally bogus.

On October 23rd we had only played 1 SEC home game. So basically your point was totally useless.

All I know is when I turn on the tv I don't see empty seats at Mizzou, but I see a hell of a lot at Kentucky.

Then it should take minimal effort for you to post them here.

By the way, Kentucky was packing 70,000 in a 67,000 seat stadium every game for 7 win teams. Mizzou has a lot of work to do attendance wise.

And that one home SEC game... It was a sell out.

Where are you getting that number? From the conversations this spring it was sounding like 71,000 - 72,000.

It's Mizzou's best season of all time. What about that do you people not get?

How does this comment make sense in our dialogue?

You posted attendance figures that included 1 Mizzou SEC home game, while others already had multiple. Making your post nothing short of pointless.

Also, this is not the best season in Mizzou history.

And Pinkel has won 100 games in 13 seasons… don't act like we're just waking out of the poor house.

So far you've been really good at being wrong, let's continue.
