that it is, which is just as bad.

The gameday atmosphere is great in Columbia. But logistically, it's an entire day. Let's say you are in St. Louis and want to go to a 3:00 game. Gotta leave by noon to find parking and get in the stadium in time. Games take 3 and a half hours these days, so it's 6:30 before you leave, and then you're fighting traffic to get home. Likely 9 at the earliest before you get home.

That's over 9 hours to just get there and back and watch the game. Add in any tailgating or other pregame/post game activities and you're talking 10+ hours.
