COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A full plate of activities for all ages is planned for this weekend in Columbia, in association with the annual spring football game.
The headline event is the Black & Gold Spring Game, Presented by Mid-America Harley-Davidson, which is set for a 2 p.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium, on Saturday, April 21st. The scrimmage will bring to a close the 2007 spring practice period. Admission to the scrimmage is just $3, or three canned food items, which benefit the Central Missouri Food Bank. Collection bins will be located at all west-side stadium entrances (no admittance or seating on the east side of the stadium). Tickets can be purchased at the stadium beginning at 11:30 a.m. that day at the North end ticket office.
Prior to the scrimmage, fans of all ages are invited to check out the Fan Zone on the North Concourse of the stadium. Beginning at 12 p.m., and running until kickoff of the scrimmage, the Fan Zone will feature a fun mix of free interactive games, activities and exhibits for children and adults. A sampling includes pictures with Truman the Tiger and the Helmet Car, face painting, inflatable games and much more.
For the bargain hunters out there, the Tiger Team Store will be holding its popular spring sale at the Memorial Stadium store. The sale, which features 25-75% off Mizzou gear from Nike, Cutter & Buck, Antigua and more, as well as authentic game-worn jerseys and other equipment room items from all sports, runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday (April 21), and again from 12-6 p.m. Sunday (April 22).
