I am trying to get tickets to this game. Does anyone know where I can get 2?

I tried as well, but Missouri State hasn't put them for sale, that I can find.

It'll be hard to get tickets, very hard.

Luckily i'm related to Aaron Sachs who has season tickets, those around the Springfield area know who he is, so I have 2 tickets.

Their tickets will go on sale at around the same time as our single game tickets do, but it'll sell out in a matter of minutes or hours if I had to guess so you'll have to be very quick.

How big is their new arena. (seating capacity?)

A lot of longtime Missouri St fans are in an uproar due to the new single game ticket buying policy that MSU has put in effect for the new arena. The policy is that only season ticket holders, parents of players and big shot university supporters will be allowed to sit in the lower bowl of the arena. A fan cannot walk up to the arena the day of the game and buy a single game ticket in the lower bowl even if there are a 1,000 seats available that did not sell out as season tickets. The athletic director states that they put that policy into effect because single game ticklet buyers should not be allowed to sit next to fans who bought seat licenses's and season tickets. I'm figuring they are going to have several empty seats as the Bears are picked to finish last(10th) in most MVC polls already out.

ASU practices the same policy.    What you end up with is a bunch of ushers guarding an empty section.  and a bunch of fans who sneak by them.    Which leads to big donors who get unhappy because they are sitting next to the unwashed masses

Why did Mizzou's redheaded stepchild even need a new arena? To hear the Springfield sports talk radio guys tell it they were having a hard time getting people to even come to the games in the old arena.
