Notre Dame in September, Arrowhead in November, and Bama, LSU, and UT all in Fayetteville in Oct.


I like our schedule next year. Definitely beats this years.

I hate these off campus games. We signed a two game agreement with them though so I guess they weren’t going to be satisfied with SEMO lol

While I know that Mizzou was contracted to play one more game at Arrowhead, I think I'd rather them play in St Louis. Although, at this point, moving any home games away from Columbia isn't really a good move because of lost profits.

I'd really like to go to this. That and @ Notre Dame should be some fun road trips next year.

How exciting! 10 million viewers, at least.

STL should be reserved for Illinois.

I'm fine with the Arky game being in KC.

We are forcing you to go to Little Rock, which should be the last stand of Little Rock in Arkansas football, and I admit that sucks, but moving an Arkansas game to Arrowhead is a great deal.

No. Not every year or even every other year. We want to go back to campus to campus as soon as we can.

But it is a great special attraction game (played once or twice) for both teams.

It is is like the SWC Classic Arkansas plays with A&M. The first few years at Jerry's World were fine. Then you hit the law of diminishing returns. One or two games would be great for both programs.

Ideally this would set up Mizzou facing a big name opponent in Arrowhead every two or so years. Every year would hit the law of diminishing returns, but every two or three years would be a great way to promote Mizzou football.

We have 2 off campus games a year with the A&M game and then the Little Rock game. They suck.

Arrowhead is cool though, so I might make that trip if tickets aren't marked up to insane levels.

Makes sense. I bet the Hogs bring the most fans to Columbia of any of the SEC teams due to its relative close proximity.

Moving to KC helps placate the KC Mizzou alums and also makes it a bit further for Arkansas fans to drive.

I think this is a good move. Almost all students are back at home for Thanksgiving and its just a straight shot north from Fayetteville.

The drive from Fayetteville to KC is shorter than to Columbia.

Its not just 25% shorter for Hog fans, its only about 110 miles farther than Columbia to KC.

Arkansas has a lot of students from the KC area, so probably not that bad of a deal.

Nobody sacrificed more than Kansas City did when Mizzou moved to the SEC (I supported it regardless). We went from being the epicenter of the Big 8/Big 12 to barely being in the northwest corner of the SEC footprint.

I think throwing us 2 games at Arrowhead every 10 years is perfectly fair. Especially considering St. Louis gets the annual Braggin' Rights game.

I think that game has a chance of selling out if both teams have a winning record. That means Arky’s gonna have to step up .
