Hard to believe we are starting our 11th season at Mizzou Arena. It's been a pretty good home for our hoops team, we are 155-24 or .866 at home since the arena opened and that includes one of the worst stretches in Mizzou basketball with the last two years of quin snyder and the first two years of Mike Anderson. Take out those first four years and we are 102-7 or .936.
The AD did a great job when they built the Arena. Not just the seating area but the other areas and things they included as well.
Mizzou Arena is home to a private Athletic Performance Center, designed specifically to train basketball athletes. This area has strength training and cardio equipment, designed specifically by the strength staff to maximize student-athletes' abilities on and off the court.
Across the hall, the Mizzou Athletic Training room comes complete with aqua therapy and hydro pools, as well as treatment tables and offices for the Mizzou Sports Medicine Team.
Nutritional needs can also be met at Mizzou Arena. While teams have the ability to cater in meals before/following games and practices, both locker rooms have nutrition stations to meet the needs of our student-athletes.
A full-length practice gym, which is open to Tiger student-athletes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
With the first few rows pushed back. They do this for practice or in this case painting the court.
Concourse behind the student section.
The Practice court - available to the team 24/7.
The current locker room - scheduled to be completely redesigned and updated this year or next.
Kids visiting another part of the current locker room
The new video board being installed. Big upgrade.

I've been to about eight basketball arenas, but only two in the SEC: Auburn and Arkansas. They are both pretty nice (but very different).
Auburn's is tiny but everything is really nice and first class. If Auburn ever gets decent (crossing fingers and looking at you Bruce Pearl) I think this would be a fantastic place to see a game. As is, it is middle of the pack.
Arkansas has a huge arena for college basketball. When I went the crowd was hopping and it was a lot of fun. Probably the best atmosphere I have been to college or NBA.
I hope to make it to LSU this year.
