I brought mine to their first game last year. We went to the Texas A&M game and had a great time but did not last past halftime. So my suggestions are below:

1. Get tickets in Skyline Club - Free Food for the entire game. Easy to go grab cookies and chips without having to spend $300 on food.

2. Pick a game that is as early as possible. They will be tired regardless so they won't last an entire day of tailgating and then a game at 6pm.

3. Expect to leave early. We did this and so when they had enough it wasnt a big deal to leave even though it was much earlier than I ever would when I go without them.

4. Go into the game late This was our biggest mistake. We went into the game an hour early and the kids were good until the middle of 2nd quarter when they started getting restless. If we had waited even just to go to our seats right before kick off they would have lasted longer.

5. They won't remember it but you will: Just remember that they aren't going to remember much of this experience. It's more about you sharing your passion with them and for your memories. If you go into it with that mentality as opposed to your normal fandom experience then you will have a great time no matter what.

IM not really sure why having a "True" lone rival matters. We have plenty of teams that dont like us and we dont like them.

I would have liked to see Arkansas simply because I enjoyed the matchup for "The Boot" on that weekend but OU is a good replacement if it wasn't going to be Arky. The match-up should be much more enjoyable to watch than most.

I also made the trip and enjoyed every part of it. Mizzou is an underrated college town and experience. I'm sure this has a lot to do with them being stuck between the South and Midwest. IDK if they have a true identity but it was a great visit either way. Overall great place to visit and would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of making the trip.

The biggest highlight was the people, their fans were really awesome and very hospitable. This is also with their team actually being good and having the confidence to win the game. I think this is an important fact because if a team thinks they are going to lose either way I think fans are generally nice.

For Example:
- When asking where the best place to park a Mizzou fan gave me an extra parking pass they had without any hesitation.

- I had a fan walk up and just want to give me suggestions on places to go eat and bars to go to and told me where they would be on Gameday. Sure enough on Gameday I walked past their tailgate not necessarily looking for them and out of the blue they yelled my name and found me. They made sure we had beers and food before entering the stadium.

-After the game we went to Shakespeare's Pizza (Which was delicious) and it was hard finding a table. A Mizzou fan went out of his way to make room for us to sit with him while we waited for our pizza. I ended up staying and finishing my meal with him.

I think no matter the beauty or prestige of a place what makes an experience great are the people and the Mizzou fanbase really showed out in that department. Proud to have them a part of the SEC family!

Looking to buy my first trailer. Do not need it for heavy duty things just for light work and lawn mower transportation. Does have any positive or negative opinions about Falcon Trailers? Or have you heard of NOLA Trailers?

If not positive for either do you suggest any other brands?

Thank you in advance!

It listed 2. Both for $100 both on eventbrite. One was in a parking lot by the dome and 1 was top floor of Lucy's. When I looked at both Lucy's was open bar, food, and live music. The parking lot was beer and wine, food by Moe's BBQ, a DJ and tailgate games

Thanks for providing info. This was the only information I found out about pregame tailgates as well. I was hoping they would do something in Champions Square. Worst case may walk down to Fulton St area if nothing going on around dome. Thanks!

Do yall have any suggestions for Pre-Game activities?

Not looking to get hammered but wouldn't mind grabbing a beer pregame or doing something for a couple hours if we go in early to avoid more crowded trains pregame.

Has anyone ever visited Empower Field at Mile High? I will be visiting Denver in October when the Broncos play the Jets.

I would like to go to game but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out where to park or best methods for getting to the field.

Anyone been before and know the best practices for parking and/or getting to and from the stadium? Ill be coming from south Denver near Littleton. Thank you in advance!

Let’s be honest, he wasn’t leaving the winningest team this decade.

You know its bad when you have to tout your program as regular season champs.

Clemson or Utah, really any Campus games. I wish we would stop playing neutral site games but too much money to be made for us to do that.

They will all come back once LSU makes a come back. With 4KTV making it easier to watch from your living room and streaming practically every game, most people don't find it worth the time to actually go to the games. Once you put a better product on the field then those fans will return to watch in person. :geauxtigers:
