Battle Line Rivalry between Missouri-Arkansas will be played at new location in 2020
Published:
The Battle Line Rivalry – an annual Thanksgiving week clash between the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Missouri Tigers – will be played at Arrowhead Stadium on November 28, 2020.
A joint effort by the University of Missouri and the Kansas City Chiefs, Tigers Director of Athletics Jim Sterk was happy to thank the city of Kansas City for supporting the program.
“We are excited to bring the Tigers back to Kansas City for the 2020 Battle Line Rivalry game against Arkansas.
“Kansas City has provided Mizzou Football and the University with outstanding support over the years, and we know our fans will make Arrowhead a home away from home for the Tigers when we take the field against the Razorbacks in 2020.”
This will be the ninth game at Arrowhead Stadium for the Missouri Tigers. In the previous eight trips, they are 6-2, including a 20-16 win over BYU on November 14, 2015, their last time playing at the stadium.
Dating back to 1906, the Razorbacks and Tigers have met 10 times with Missouri winning on seven occasions. The 2019 edition of this SEC rivalry will take place at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Missouri begins their season on Saturday with a trip to Laramie to face the Wyoming Cowboys at 6:30PM CT. Arkansas hosts Portland State on Saturday at 3:00PM CT.
