Arrowhead Stadium officials report an increase in Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship Game ticket sales from people around the state of Missouri over the past 10 days, likely the result of the University of Missouri’s second-consecutive Big 12 North Division championship following the school’s 52-20 win at Iowa State (11/15). With the Tigers South Division opponent still undecided, Mizzou fans are taking advantage of the fact and scooping up available tickets while they last as the school aims for its first-ever Big 12 football title on December 6th. Fans wishing to attend next weekend’s Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship Game are encouraged to act fast as tickets are expected to officially sell out in the following days.

Missouri begins back-to-back Kansas City visits this Saturday when they square off against arch-rival Kansas in the Border Showdown at Arrowhead. A trio of potential South Division foes will also do battle this weekend with either Oklahoma, Texas or Texas Tech will emerge as the Tigers championship game opponent. No matter which squad emerges as the Tigers opponent, this year’s Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship Game will likely carry implications that will help determine BCS National Championship Game match-up.
