COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri Department of Athletics officially broke ground on the Stephens Indoor Facility during a ceremony Friday at Memorial Stadium / Faurot Field.

The Stephens Indoor Facility, an 86,400-square foot space which will be located adjacent to the South End Zone Facility, is named for MU alumni and donors Brad and Rachel Stephens. 

The Stephens Indoor Facility includes a full-length football field with appropriate run-off distances beyond the end zones and along the sidelines for student-athlete safety. The facility will feature an upper mezzanine level with a viewing lobby and gameday facilities including expanded restrooms and VIP premium indoor tailgating opportunities.

St. Louis-based architect HOK and its Kansas City, Mo.-based sports division, HOK-Sport, are leading the planning and design of the Stephens Indoor Facility. The project received unanimous approval from the Board of Curators in May 2021 and is expected to open in Summer 2023.
