First, Mizzou has released the map of where players will be signing autographs. As in years past, the entire team will be stationed in seven tents along the east sideline of Faurot Field while head coach Barry Odom will sign in a tent located on the 10-yardline on the southwest corner of Faurot Field. In addition, a spirit tent where fans and children can meet Mizzou's sprit squads, including Truman the Tiger, will be located on the 15-yardline on the northwest side of Faurot Field.
Additionally, Mizzou will show a family Mizzou on the Memorial Stadium video board immediately following 'Meet the Tigers' for the first time in the history of the event. The popular Lego Batman Movie will be the feature presentation, beginning at 8:15 p.m. Fans are encouraged to bring the entire family and a blanket to the free presentation.
Mizzou Football's annual 'Meet the Tigers' Fan Appreciation Day has been set for Saturday, August 5, at 7 p.m. on the field at Memorial Stadium. This year will mark the first year that Mizzou will hold 'Meet the Tigers' on a Saturday evening. Gates will open to the public at approximately 7 p.m., and the team and coaches will be on hand to sign autographs for roughly an hour. Admission to this fan-favorite event is free.

Players will be limited to signing one item per fan, with free schedule posters available on the field for those interested. Guests bringing multiple items to the gate will be asked to return additional items to their vehicle.
