The Tigers will return to The Dome at America’s Center next season to host Memphis, a game originally scheduled at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis as part of a two-game agreement.
Instead, as the Post-Dispatch first reported earlier this month, Mizzou officials have worked with counterparts at Memphis to move the game to a neutral location in St. Louis. The game will kick off Sept. 23, MU’s third game of the season. Financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
Working with the St. Louis Sports Commission, MU’s administration initially talked to the Cardinals about playing the game at Busch Stadium, sources confirmed in recent months, but the MLB club is scheduled to finish a seven-game homestand at Busch on Sept.
