Fans closer to the action than ever after SEC proposal implemented.
Following SEC Athletics Director approval of a proposal to allow schools to expand courtside seating, Mizzou Arena will feature a reconfigured seating arrangement near the court beginning with the 2025-26 Mizzou men's and women's basketball seasons.
The scorer's table will be split into three parts, with two sets of four sideline seats added near each team's bench. Additionally, the left and right of each basket will now include baseline seats, and a second "Tiger Row" along the sideline across from the benches has been added. "Mini Mizzou" will be in a new, prominent location above the visiting team tunnel, and the student section will expand the entire width of the sections behind the basket to create an intimidating atmosphere each night.
"We're thrilled to bring our fans even closer to the court," University of Missouri Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said. "Between the new courtside seating, the prominent and elevated placement of Mini Mizzou and our passionate student section creating energy behind the basket, Mizzou Arena is going to feel more alive and intimidating than ever."
