Honestly not being snarky, but Arkansas needs to hold up their end of the deal at some point.
Black Friday / Post Thanksgiving is always going to be a challenge to attendance anyway - to ask what is essentially 50,000 mid Missourians to carry the load when you add on weather and a bad opponent, is wildly optimistic at best.
First ingredient: the game has to mean something. Ex If a Division title is on the one for one or both teams.
Second ingredient: weather. To sell out we need St. Louis and KC fans to travel. A 1:30 start is set up perfect to get travelers over and back in one day.
Third ingredient: bad blood. That can still come with time. Ironically, it will take MU losing a game of two to Arkansas that really hurts.
Find a year when all 3 are present and the game will be awesome but there will be plenty of times where we see a repeat of yesterday.
