As the University of Missouri Tigers enter their third week in the season, flying high on two shutout games, crowd behavior is a high priority. Over the past two games, 23 people have been ejected from Memorial Stadium.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol and University of Missouri Police department continuously monitor and patrol the games to keep fans safe every weekend.

During Mizzou’s first game of the year on Aug. 29, seven people were ejected:

• Five – Intoxication or alcohol possession
• One – Vaping related
• One – Vaping and alcohol-related

On the Mizzou’s Sept. 7 game, 16 people were ejected:

• Seven – Vaping related
• Six – Intoxication or alcohol possession
• One – “10-55” (According to Police1, this code represents intoxicated driving)
• One – “10-55” and vaping

According to the University of Missouri website, outside food and drink are prohibited in the stadium and drinking laws are strictly enforced.

The entire campus of University of Missouri is also a tobacco-free campus so any tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, are not allowed inside and around Memorial Stadium.

Guests are encouraged to be polite and respectful to one another and stadium officials. If a fan sees someone dangerous or disruptive they should contact a staff member.
