Did you know...
The University of Missouri started the tradition of Homecoming in 1911 when MU football coach and Director of Athletics Chester Brewer invited former students to "come home" to Columbia, MO for the annual football game between the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas. There are other schools who claim to have the first homecoming…in 1908, 1909 or 1910 depending upon who you listen to, but there is no doubt that the Mizzou homecoming tradition was born in 1911!
This tradition has spread throughout the world, but the University of Missouri still boasts the largest student-run Homecoming in the nation.
