Mizzou vs. Vanderbilt game & event update

We are thrilled to report that we sold 120 tickets for the Mizzou vs. Vanderbilt basketball game! We are excited about this fantastic response and look forward to seeing you at the event next week.

As a reminder, here is the information about the event:

Missouri vs. Vanderbilt
Wednesday, December 2 at 8:30 p.m.

Pre-game Event - 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Holiday Inn - Vanderbilt
2613 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203

For those who are planning to attend the pre-game event, we wanted to make you aware of a few things:

• Food. Because of the overwhelming response, we've made some slight adjustments to the pre-game event at the Holiday Inn to better accommodate our group. Instead of offering a full menu, the Holiday Inn will provide heavy appetizers. Although there will not be a set cost for this, we would appreciate it if everyone would chip in a few dollars to help offset the cost of the food.

• Parking. There will be free parking at the Holiday Inn on a first come, first serve basis. When arriving at the hotel, please tell the parking attendant that you are with the Mizzou Alumni group. Please park in the lot behind the hotel. You will be able to leave your car at the hotel during the game.
  
  
• Game tickets. Everyone must come to the pre-game event to pick up your tickets.
  
  
• Giveaways. We will also have a drawing for some great giveaways, including a basketball autographed by Mike Anderson! The autographed ball will be a special "members-only" drawing for members of the Mizzou Alumni Association. If you're not an MAA member, you can sign up at the game for a chance to win this great keepsake!
  

If you have any questions, please contact Laura Click at musiccitytigers@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you at the event. Don't forget to wear your Mizzou gear!
