Missouri Football sells out home opener against Murray State

For the sixth straight home game, Memorial Stadium will be sold out on Thursday night. This latest sellout comes just one day before the Missouri Tigers’ season opener, hosting Murray State. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and the Tigers are ready to make a statement.

Fans are excited about this team that has more momentum than any Missouri team in recent history. Under Eliah Drinkwitz, Missouri football has become can’t-miss television. The Tigers enter this game ranked No. 11 in the country according to the Associated Press poll, and are once again selling out stadiums.

Coach Drinkwitz didn’t hold back at last week’s press conference and criticized fans for not selling out the first home game against Murray State.

“We’re one of the top 11 programs in the country. If the first game isn’t sold out, I think that tells me that we’re not where we want to be as a fan base.”

Just a week later, the Tigers fans came and Coach Drinkwitz expressed his satisfaction with the result, tweeting, “Thank you!!,” and writing “1-0” in a second message. He will be even happier when he sees the fans turn out in full force for this team.

Columbia, Missouri is a hive of activity and you can feel the energy of this city. Missouri football is on everyone’s lips and a constant topic of conversation throughout the city. The Tigers are looking to prove once again that they are worthy of playing to a sold-out stadium and show fans that every game this season should be a sell-out.
