That looks really nice. Very cool way to keep the M and grassy area in the end zone. Look forward to playing there someday.

If that’s real I’m impressed they were able to keep the hill. It’s a great spot for local families and kids to sit.
Didn’t think that would be possible without losing it. Well done.

I'm not sure we should be renovating a 100 year old stadium....that concrete is old and should be nearing its lifespan in the next 3 decades. Why build on top of/around that?

Agreed, I wish they would bulldoze it and start over.

I can already see improvements since Mizzou joined.
Now if Vandy would just build a stadium suitable for a SEC football team.
All the other SEC stadiums are actually nice even Ky Stoops done a great job pushing for improvements .

Fwiw the original lower bowl from the 1920s is concrete poured on granite inside the former Quarry. All subsequent construction is anchored on the rock shelf outside the original bowl, and transfers no load to the Earlier concrete.

Populous is a pretty good architecture firm, they would be a great company to contract with for the improvements at MIZZOU.

Nice to know!
I do have other complaints about the current stadium and its condition, but that was the only one that was worrying.

Official announcement today:
Board of Curators Passes Resolution for Mizzou Football Memorial Stadium Renovation Project
Board of Curators Passes Resolution for Mizzou Football Memorial Stadium Renovation Project
quote:
The University of Missouri Board of Curators has passed a resolution for Mizzou Athletics to initiate renovations to Memorial Stadium, including the redevelopment of the football stadium's North Concourse along with other facility enhancements and new fan amenities.
The resolution passed during Thursday's executive session of the UM Board of Curators meeting at the University of Missouri-St. Louis authorizes the university to issue a request for qualification (RFQ) to select an architectural and engineering firm to serve as consultant for the project.
University of Missouri President Mun Choi designated an architect selection committee, chaired by MU Director of Athletics Desireé Reed-Francois, to recommend an architectural firm to design the project and meet budgetary and timeline requirements. Upon President Choi's approval and agreed-upon financial terms, it is anticipated that the Athletics department will present the firm for board approval no later than January 10, 2024. It is expected MU will report back to the board on or before its meeting on April 18, 2024, to present pre-design programming and planning for Memorial Stadium improvements, including plans for project scope, budget and fundraising.
"As the Board of Curators continues to evaluate facility projects across the Mizzou Sports Park, this Memorial Stadium Project is an opportunity to capitalize on the momentum Mizzou Athletics has established and allows the university to strengthen one of our signature facilities," UM Board of Curators Chair Michael Williams said. "We look forward to working alongside campus leadership and Athletics to reshape the North Concourse and develop other needed improvements to Memorial Stadium."
"We are building a championship culture at Mizzou, and this Memorial Stadium Project is an exciting development that will continue raising the national brand of Mizzou Athletics and demonstrates the university's investment in the athletics department's future," President Choi said. "This unique project has the potential to create new year-round connections with the community for the university to further engage the region, the state and our 362,000 alumni."
Under head coach Eli Drinkwitz's leadership, the Tigers are 8-2 this season and ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings. On Saturday, Mizzou will host its fifth consecutive sold-out game for the first time since 1980. The Tigers host Florida in Saturday's 6:30 p.m. home finale on ESPN.
"The 2023 Mizzou Football season has showcased the tremendous game-day atmosphere and incredible fan support we have at Memorial Stadium," Reed-Francois said. "We appreciate the support and guidance that our Board of Curators and President Choi have provided to ensure that Mizzou Football delivers a first-class experience for our team, our students and our loyal fans. We look forward to developing further programming plans for Memorial Stadium, but rest assured, the historic Rock M behind the north end zone will be preserved in its traditional place on Faurot Field."
"Thank you to the Board of Curators, President Choi and Desireé Reed-Francois for their continued investment in our football program," Drinkwitz said. "Memorial Stadium has been packed all season long with five straight sellouts and we look forward to the north end zone development along with other stadium improvements. This is an important step forward for the overall experience for our fans, players and recruits on game day. It's an exciting time to be part of Mizzou Football."
