COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Missouri women's basketball team participate in the ninth annual Brewer Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 20, to help kick off the day's Homecoming festivities. The event will begin with a free pancake breakfast at 7:45 a.m. in Brewer Fieldhouse, part of the Mizzou Student Recreation Complex, in the heart of the MU campus. The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Recreation Services and Facilities in conjunction with the Mizzou Department of Athletics.

The Tiger Wheelchair Basketball team opens the Brewer Breakfast with a scrimmage at 7:45 a.m., followed by the Mizzou women's basketball team at 8:15 a.m. The event will conclude about 10 a.m.

Unlike previous years, Brewer Fieldhouse is no longer along the Homecoming Parade route. This year the parade starts and ends on Conley Avenue, within easy walking distance to Brewer Fieldhouse. Fans attending Brewer Breakfast are encouraged to park in the Virginia Avenue parking structure, located east of the MSRC.

Season ticket packages are now on sale for the 2007-08 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 season or individual-game tickets, fans may stop by the Mizzou Arena Box Office, call 1-800-CAT-PAWS (573-884-PAWS in mid-Missouri), or buy online at www.mutigers.com. The Tigers' lone exhibition game is Monday, Nov. 5, against Pittsburg State, and the 2007-08 home opener is Friday, Nov. 9, against Murray State at 6:30 p.m.
