Everything you need to know about Mizzou’s Black & Gold Game

Two-time reigning SEC East division champion Missouri is set to play its annual Black & Gold Spring Game at 4 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium, but that’s hardly the only activity for fans.

There will be a Fan Fest from 1 to 3:45 p.m. between the stadium and the Hearnes Center, featuring a free concert by Dr. Zhivegas, plus carnival rides and inflatables along Mick Deaver Drive.

There also will be a photo station for fans wanting to snap pictures with the Mizzou Helmet Car or Truman’s Taxi/Fire Truck.

Missouri’s SEC East division title trophies and the Citrus Bowl trophy, which the Tigers earned by knocking off Minnesota on Jan. 1 in Orlando, Fla., also will be on display.

There is rain in the forecast, peaking with a 35 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms at the scheduled kickoff, but umbrellas will not be permitted inside Memorial Stadium.

Concession stands will be open in the stadium, but there also will be food and beverage trucks outside the stadium.

Beer and soda will be available for purchase at Truman’s Terrace. Beer sales end at 3:30 p.m., and no alcoholic beverages are permitted inside Memorial Stadium.

The Tigers Team Store will be open, and select season tickets will be available for purchase.

Fans also can receive vouchers for free admission to the Missouri-Alabama baseball game, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Taylor Stadium. Vouchers will be available at Gate 1 on the north concourse.
