The tailgate experience at Mizzou football games will have another element this fall: pregame concerts.
Mizzou is launching a “Tailgate Concert Series” before all 2017 Mizzou home football games.
Each concert will feature a “nationally prominent artist,” according to a school press release, and will start after the “Tiger Walk,” which happens 2 1/2 hours before kickoff. The stage for each performance will be in Tiger Town, on the east side of Faurot Field on Mick Deaver Memorial Drive outside Memorial Stadium.
“We believe the Tailgate Concert Series will be a great addition to the Mizzou game-day experience for all Tiger fans,” Jay Luksis, Mizzou senior athletics director for marketing and revenue generation, said in the press release.
