ACCESIBLE PARKING

The University of Missouri Police Department and other law enforcement agencies make every effort to ensure that accessible parking areas will be used only by those who are eligible to use them. We hope this will create additional parking for fans with accessible needs.

Missouri state law states that vehicles displaying a temporary or permanent accessible placard or plate seeking to park in an accessible parking space may park in the space only when the person to whom the placard or plate was issued is in the vehicle at the time of the parking. In addition, Missouri state law requires that the validated receipt for the application of the accessible placard must be in the vehicle when the placard or plate is in use.

Limited accessible parking for men's basketball games is located in Lot M and courtesy ADA shuttles are provided.

All accessible parking is available on a limited basis, and is first-come, first-served. Vehicles wishing to park in accessible parking must meet all three of these requirements:

  • An accessible placard or plate
  • The person to whom the placard or plate was issued is in the vehicle
  • The person seeking to park shows the officer a validated application receipt for the placard or plate

INBOUND TRAFFIC FLOW - ACCESSIBLE LOTS

  • Lot K: Stadium Blvd. to Mick Deaver Memorial Drive, drive South on Mick Deaver. Use the center/Southbound lane, then turn left/East on Champions Drive to the entrance of Lot K.
  • Lot M: Stadium Blvd. to Monk/Champions Drive, drive South on Champions Drive to the entrance of Lot M.
  • Lot O: Providence Rd. to Mick Deaver Memorial Drive using the far right lane to the entrance of Lot O.

TICKET RESOLUTION

LOCATION
Ticket resolution (on football game day) is located at the Memorial Stadium Ticket Offices at Gate 1 and at the Mizzou Arena Ticket Office. Memorial Stadium Gate 1 is also where tickets can be exchanged for ADA accessible seating (while supplies last).

PHOTO ID
A photo ID may be required for ticket office staff to identify your ticket account. We also recommend that you bring the credit card used to purchase your tickets.

(*) Mizzou Athletics welcomes service animals. Fans with service animals should ensure that the seating they choose can adequately accommodate the space needed for their service animal (use of accessible seating is recommended). It is also recommended that you alert event management of the presence of a service animal prior to the day of the game. This will allow us to provide the highest level of service possible. For more information, please contact Mizzou Athletics at (573) 882-6501. Fans should ensure that their service animal does not display aggressive or disruptive behaviors, and should ensure that their animal is housetrained. Aggressive behavior, disruptive behavior, or lack of housetraining may result in a fan and their service animal being asked to exit the game.

CLEAR BAG POLICY FAQ

Can I put my bag that is not compliant with the clear bag policy inside of a permissible clear bag to bring it in?
This is not permissible. A bag that does not meet the standards of the clear bag policy is considered a prohibited item and will not be allowed into the venue.

How does the new policy improve public safety?
The clear bag is easily searched and significantly reduces faulty bag searches. It also supports the Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.

Do I have to put everything I'm carrying into the permissible bags?
No. Fans are limited only to the type of bags carried into the venue, not items that they may normally bring to a game that fit in pockets or clutch bags (e.g., keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards). Fans may carry a blanket over their arms, and binoculars and/or camera around their necks or in their hands without the case. Fans may also use the clear bag and clutch to carry these items and other permissible items. Every member of the family may carry in a permissible bag.

What about diaper bags?
Diapers and non-medically necessary items for babies and young children must be carried in a clear bag. Each member of a family, including children, would be allowed to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse into the venue.

How many bags may each person bring into the venue?
One large clear bag - either a one-gallon Ziploc style bag or the 12" x 6" x 12" clear bag - plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5" x 6.5". The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and also is easily searched.

May fans carry cameras, binoculars, smart phones/tablets separately from what they put in a clear bag?
Yes. A phone, binoculars or cameras may be carried into the venue as long as it is not in its own bag.

Are seat cushions allowed to be carried into the venue?
Fans should review each institution's prohibited items policy to determine if seat cushions are allowed.

What about bringing blankets in cold weather?
Fans will be able to bring blankets by tossing them over a shoulder or arm.

If I have certain items that I need to bring into the venue for medical reasons and they won't fit in the clear bag, what do I do?
There will be designated entrances to allow screening of these bags and medically necessary items.

Are all purses prohibited?
No. Small clutch purses, with or without a handle or strap, that do not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" are permitted along with either the 12" x 6" x 12" clear tote bag or the one-gallon freezer bag. Fans are encouraged not to bring any bags, but the policy has been created to balance fan needs with improved public safety and convenience.

Are there any exceptions to the clear bag rule for a medical reason?
Guests may bring in a bag that does not meet the clear bag specifications if it is required for a medical purpose. It is highly recommended that you call (573) 882-6501 in advance for more information and to be sure you qualify. Bags for a medical exception must go through a special screening process for football at Gate 2W or 2E. Even if a bag is for an approved medical reason, it will not be allowed to enter through any other gate.
