The college football season hasn’t started yet, but anticipation is already roiling for resumption of the Border War.
Kansas and Missouri will play each other for the first time since 2011, when MU departed the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference. The Jayhawks will face the Tigers in Columbia in a Sept. 6 Week 2 showdown.
And on Monday the Missouri Athletics department announced that the game is sold out.
Fans aren’t the only ones excited for the game to return. KU coach Lance Leipold recently said he can’t wait for his squad to face Mizzou at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium.
“To go to Columbia this year will be special,” Leipold said earlier this month. “I’m sure there’s a lot of people on both sides of it that are going to be fired up. And to see some of these rivalries get renewed is special and will be a great time. And we’re looking forward to it.”
Kickoff for the Sept. 6 Border War game is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
