COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri women's basketball team will hold its "Brewer Breakfast" this Saturday, Oct. 25, as part of the day's Homecoming festivities. The annual event will begin with a free pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. in Brewer Fieldhouse, part of the Student Recreation Center, on the MU campus.

An intrasquad scrimmage - Mizzou's first of the season and the public's first chance to see the 2003-04 Tigers - will take place beginning at 8:30 a.m. and will last approximately 90 minutes. There will also be tables set up with ticket information, schedules, and flyers for the Tigers' other upcoming events, including the 2003 Tiger Night of Terror, set for next Friday, Oct. 31.

Because of the expected congestion on campus due to the Homecoming parade, as well as the early football kickoff, fans attending Brewer Breakfast are encouraged to arrive early and park in the Virginia Avenue parking structure, located east of the Student Recreation Center. Due to construction on the east side of the SRC, fans will need to walk north to Rollins Street and proceed west to the main entrance on the west side.

Season ticket packages are now on sale for the 2003-04 home schedule, and have two exciting options this year. The KMIZ-ZOU Spirit Pass gives the holder admission to each of seven Mizzou sports, including women's basketball, on a general-admission basis. In addition, women's basketball fans who wish to purchase a reserved seat for the season may continue to do so with the purchase of a basketball-only season ticket.

To purchase tickets, fans may stop by the Hearnes Center Box Office, call 1-800-CAT-PAWS (573-884-PAWS in mid-Missouri), or buy online at www.MUTigers.com. The exhibition season starts Saturday, Nov. 8, against Southwest Baptist, and the 2003-04 home opener is Wednesday, Nov. 26, against Southern.
