The Missouri State High School Activities Association announced on Tuesday that this year’s Show-Me Bowl football games will be played at high school stadiums.
A press release from MSHSAA stated that the decision is due to “venue usage conflicts” with Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field in Columbia.
Three high school stadiums will be used to host 11-man championship games. The location of the 8-man game is still to be determined.
Blair Oaks, Helias Catholic and Jefferson City have agreed to host state title games, the press release said. Other details are being finalized, including what games or games each school will host.
Missouri or Missouri State has hosted the state championships since 2016. The Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis hosted the 11-man championship games from 1996-2015.
High school stadiums haven’t hosted a state championship game in the state of Missouri since 1978.
