Introduction

Designed to preserve the stadium’s tradition-rich elements while embracing a vibrant future for Mizzou, the $250 million Memorial Stadium Centennial Project will enhance the fan experience by further enclosing the north end of the stadium and adding a variety of new premium seating options along the north edge of the stadium along with other upgrades throughout the facility. The Board of Curators approved the resolution on April 18 at its meeting in Rolla on the campus of Missouri University of Science and Technology. The current schedule developed by DLR Group expects the project to be complete by the start of the 2026 college football season, coinciding with the 100-year anniversary of Mizzou’s first game at Memorial Stadium.

Memorial Stadium planned renovations envision up to 160,500 square feet of new construction, including 98,000 square feet that will be enclosed as part of new premium seating areas. The project will explore the development of 14 field-level open-air suites and two new club sections, including a field-level 300-person Rock M Club built directly under the historic Rock M Hill behind the current north end zone. The renovations will include 71 new suites total, including 20 Tiger Dens featuring large social spaces in covered settings.
