Faurot Field has more history and tradition than any other SEC stadium

But does it have a safe space?

It's the 7th oldest stadium in the SEC. Every stadium outside of Kentucky was built before 1940, most before 1930.

My favorite historical moment of Faurot field is when UGA won be 3 touchdowns in your first SEC game.

My favorite was wrapping up the East between the hedges in week 7 of 2013 season

I would assume my opinion is the same as any other person that went to the crater that you call a stadium.

Spaghettios

Don't forget back in 1938 Mizzou flooded Faurot Field (it was built in a former quarry) to stage a mock Roman Legion sea battle using ships built by the engineering students. 27 three quarter sized ships were built and participated in the battle. Jiddu Aurubindi, an Indian engineering student and one of Mizzou first celebrated "people of color", nearly died in the sea battle when his ship caught on fire after a collision. He narrowly escaped death by burning after he used a replica ax to break thru an interior room he was trapped in, but still received 3rd degree burns over more than half his body. The mock battle was halted to drag his body out of the water, and resumed once he was escorted out of the stadium to the campus clinic.

My grandfather witnessed that battle. He was in high school at the time. His parents drove 2 hours from northeast Missouri to Columbia to specifically watch the event solely because he wanted to go to Mizzou for engineering.

Two years later he enlisted as a Marine and spent 2 years fighting in the South Pacific, most notably Guadalcanal.

After the war he returned to Mizzou and eventually received two degrees, one in math and one in nuclear physics.

He returned to northeast Missouri to take control of his mother and father's farm which he eventually expanded to a 1,500 farming operation still in existence today (run by my uncle and appreciated most by my grandfather).

I love Missouri history.
