re: Help Needed: Gameday Guide for Columbia, Missouri

W/r/t tailgating, walking down the road between Lots N and M (refer to previously posted map) and venturing into those lots may give you the best opportunity to interact with Mizzou fans and snag a drink or two. I park in Lot K and drive that road every game. Always plenty of activity!

Have you had any dreams lately about how the college football playoffs will turn out?

I hope you enjoy the trip to COMO!

Another good bar is My House (but I think cover is pretty steep on game days) - they have lots of TVs.

One of our tailgate regulars has a couple of kids that went to MSU, I'm sure they will be there and the whole crew is friendly. Most Mizzou people are very welcoming.

One other thing to note - due to the construction you have to enter the stadium on the side where your seats are located. So, check your ticket location and plan to arrive on that side or give yourself ample time to get around. It can get crowded on the narrow temporary walkway for the North side construction. The South side requires you to traverse pretty steep walkways/roads as you have to go down into the lower parking lot and back up (the stadium sits in a natural revine). This is temporary until the new North end zone is done, then there will be a nice wide open concourse to move from East to West.

The local Indian dealer sets up a trailer in one of the lots south of Hearnes with food and multiple tv sets.

If you like chicken wings, get the smoked wings at D Rowe’s. Sophie Cunningham might show up here if she’s in town. Or the Attorney General of the state. If you stay long enough at night, there’s an angry KC developer who will try to fight someone and then get embarrassed and pay everyone’s tab in the bar. 25% chance

Great small plate options with slightly elevated environs and good food at Flyover.

If you end up at Murry’s post game, Dennis Gates might come through. Get the fried green onions in powdered sugar. Yes, that is not a mistake. And it won’t be a mistake when you order them.

These are all south of the stadium by a few miles or so.

If you’d rather wander through the masses of people downtown, that’s fun, too. Skip the barbecue. It sucks (mostly) in CoMo.

COMO Smoke and Fire is pretty good. But out on the edge of town.

Lutzs and Sweetsmoke are excellent, but you have to go to Jeff City for those.

Country fried steak and eggs at the Iron Skillet. Mm mm

It's the only time I've been put on criminal trespass during a game. I of course scalped more tickets and still went because frick their police.

Haven't been back in 20 years since....

Breakfast at Ozark Mountain Biscuit is excellent, though it's hard to beat the #7 at Ernie's.



Never been up there, always packed.
