The cannon is gone.
What I read was that the cannon would be too loud inside the stadium now that it is enclosed. However to rectify that we are getting a bigger one outside of the stadium. I personally wanted it mounted at the top of one of the towers. Fort Kyle.

Be cool if they could mount it from the top of the stadium.

Just to set the record straight, there will be a new cannon placed outside the southeast end of the newly renovated Kyle Field next year that will fire whenever the team scores. It will be permanently located there, and we are looking at ways to secure it permanently outside the stadium. It will be an M101A1, 105mm cannon, (any Marines out there may remember it) and is currently being refurbished by a gentleman in Navasota. We are going to purchase it, but the Class of '15 is considering buying it as a class gift. More to follow on that. The one thing James DID get right is that because the newly renovated stadium is enclosed completely, we cannot shoot the Spirit of 02 inside the stadium any more due to exceeding safe decibel levels when it fires. Thus the need to fire the cannon OUTSIDE the stadium when the team scores. We decided to buy a new cannon that could be on permanent display outside the newly renovated stadium (near the east plaza) at all times, and fired during the games. 12th Man Foundation is going to run a live feed of the game to the cannon crew outside the stadium (with a TV mounted on a mobile platform) so they will know when to fire the cannon (we'll also have a crew member talking to the right folks on head sets, as we do now). The Spirit of 02 will STILL be used for all other functions, and will continue to fire for all the events it currently shoots at, including step-off, ring day, races, etc. It will also still march-in with the Cav during game days. Still working details, but thats the plan, in a nutshell. The new cannon won't be ready until Nov, so the Spirit of 02 will continue to shoot for games until then. Feel fee to call me if you have any more questions about the cannon for next football season. Thanks and Gig 'em!

Mizzou is going to start selling beer for the upcoming season in the new Tiger Tailgating Terrace
LINK
quote:
This area is being created in the space formerly known as the Amphitheater at Mizzou to provide Tiger fans with a private tailgate experience - either with groups, or individually - within the confines of the stadium. Fans can purchase group tickets for specific games, or individual memberships can be purchased for the entire season.
This brand new tailgate area will give fans access to food buffets, cash bars, live music entertainment and a TV viewing area, among other amenities, and the area will be open pre-game, at halftime, and post-game for a defined period of time. That allows fans to have hassle-free parties to celebrate football Saturdays with all of their friends and families!

I'm glad athletic departments are thinking outside the box on the tailgating experience. It's going to be the primary driver for getting butts in seats the very near future.

First the Missouri loge seats, then this "Tiger Tailgating Terrace":

are there any pictures of missouri's expansion that don't look like they were taken from a first generation cell phone camera?

Be kind. At least their camera's still work. We've been waiting for this camera to update for three weeks now:
Meanwhile, a couple of TD posters have been good to provide us with these...
It's like LSU has given up on updates since the SEZ is so close to completion.

oh i know, i was the one who brought that up earlier this week. our "live" feed camera is a complete joke

Thanks!, yea our project is truly about fan experience, the tailgate area, the bar/buffet/entertainment in the loge level, it may not always work but at least we try to get it right.

alas,,
our dimestore wal mart cameras are all we can afford, maybe our first SECN payout check will change things, who knows. at least we are getting things fixed up, a new softball complex is right around the corner, the old indoor football dome will be used for track and field or something, after the new one is built. we'll get there.. some day.. occasionally you see a tweet w/ a decent shot:
