In an effort to promote environmental sustainability, the Missouri Athletics Department is offering prizes for people who ride their bikes to the football game against Georgia.
MU is encouraging people to park their bikes at racks on the west side of the Hearnes Center. Volunteers will be there to hand out raffle tickets to enter people into a drawing for prizes.
Fans who participate have the chance to win Mizzou apparel or a football autographed by Coach Gary Pinkel.
MU student Michael Dudley said he's used to biking to football games because he lives off campus, and he's glad Mizzou is trying to encourage more people to do so.
"I think it's a good idea because it encourages people to use less gasoline," Dudley said. "So more people will be riding their bikes and getting more exercise and creating a lot less traffic with cars too."
Mizzou Athletics said the raffle winners will be announced on the Mizzou Gameday twitter account Monday, Oct. 13.
