We are just 100 days from the start of Mizzou Football! Coach Drinkwitz and the team will lead Mizzou to a historic season! I know you’re as excited as I am, and I can’t wait to welcome our alumni back to campus to celebrate 100 years of Memorial Stadium. 

I’m thrilled that our transformative Memorial Stadium Centennial Project is on track for completion in time for the first home game on Thursday, September 3, against the University of Arkansas – Pine Bluff Golden Lions. The day before, on September 2, we’ll hold the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the North End Zone project. Then on Saturday, September 19, we’ll celebrate a special 100th anniversary game when the Tigers take on the Troy University Trojans.

The new Memorial Stadium will provide an unmatched game-day experience for Tiger fans. We’ve also preserved proud traditions, including the Rock M in the North End Zone, which is filled with the same rocks as before. Continuing another longstanding tradition, incoming students will again get the opportunity to Paint the M on the hill this August during Welcome Week.

Mark your calendars now, and I’ll see you for game day in Columbia this September!
