FAYETTEVILLE — Missouri athletics director Jim Sterk said Thursday the Tigers still plan to play their football game against Arkansas at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
During a Zoom call with reporters, Sterk was asked about the status of the game and whether it might be moved to back to Mizzou's campus in Columbia.
"We’ve been in discussions with the Chiefs," Sterk said. "We’re kind of in the same boat trying to determine what we’re going to do. As of right now we plan on playing that game there."
The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday, Nov. 28, but could be moved up a day to accommodate TV. The Razorbacks and Tigers have played on CBS the day after Thanksgiving each year since 2014.
Poor attendance for those games has led both teams to schedule the series at off-campus stadiums in larger cities. The Razorbacks' contract with War Memorial Stadium calls for the Missouri game to be played in Little Rock during odd-numbered years through 2023.
The Missouri game is one of two this year for Arkansas scheduled to be played at an NFL stadium. The Razorbacks are scheduled to play their annual game against Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sept. 26.
