University of Missouri officials are encouraging Mizzou football fans to park in downtown Columbia garages for tomorrow’s (Thursday) opener and to take a free greenway shuttle to the game.

Go COMO will begin downtown routes to Faurot starting at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, and there are several places where you can be picked up. They include the Seventh street armory, the 5^th and Walnut parking garage, Harpo’s, Shiloh Bar and Grill and Flat Branch. Go COMO will be running two downtown routes.

Columbia Public Works says the buses will operate on a ten-minute cycle, dependent on traffic.

Return trips will start at the end of the third quarter, and the last pickup will be 30 minutes after the game ends.

Tomorrow night’s kickoff between Mizzou and Louisiana Tech is set for 7. The University of Missouri is asking all employees who work on-campus in non-public-facing roles to leave campus at noon tomorrow.
