The total number of fans ejected from Mizzou home games this football season is up to 63.
The Tigers are on bye this week and host Alabama on Oct. 11. All of Missouri’s games have been at home this season, and there were 31 total ejections heading into MU’s game against South Carolina on Sept. 20.
There were fewer ejections this year during the South Carolina game than there were in 2023, the last time the Tigers hosted the Gamecocks. There were 21 fans thrown out of the stadium on Sept. 20, far below 2023’s 41.
Seventeen of the ejections at this year’s game were alcohol-related, according to ejection cards. Seven of those were for sneaking in booze, while eight just had “alcohol” as a reason and three were thrown out for “intoxication.”
Two people were thrown out for vaping, one person was tossed for “pushing/shoving,” and another person was accused of urinating in public. The ejection card for the latter reason claims a man was “urinating on wall of medic room outside of security office.”
The annual homecoming game was held against UMass on Sept. 27 and saw 11 people thrown out of the stadium. Nine of those were alcohol-related, with four just listing “alcohol” as the reason, three were for intoxication/vomiting, one for minor in possession and one for sneaking in booze.
One person was thrown out for attempted theft, while another was accused of throwing something at the field.
The total ejections of fans by game this year are:
Aug. 28 vs. Central Arkansas – 4
Sept. 6 vs. Kansas – 24
Sept. 13 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette – 3
Sept. 20 vs. South Carolina – 21
Sept. 27 vs. UMass– 11
