Groundbreaking celebrates a century of tradition at Memorial Stadium


Memorial Stadium Centennial Project Groundbreaking group with shovels.

Before Saturday’s snowy Battle Line Rivalry win against the Arkansas Razorbacks, we were proud to break ground on the ambitious Memorial Stadium Centennial Project. It was an honor to launch a new era of Mizzou Football alongside members of the University of Missouri Board of Curators, top project supporters and leaders from across campus and Mizzou Athletics.

This project is the largest in Memorial Stadium’s history and is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2026 season. Improvements will provide an unrivaled game day experience for fans while building on our incredible momentum in the SEC and our will to win championships that make all Missourians proud.

Saturday was also Senior Day, which offered a great opportunity to thank 27 student-athletes for their contributions to Memorial Stadium’s legacy. It was great celebrating their many accomplishments while also looking ahead to the next 100 years of Mizzou Football excellence. The talented seniors helped secure an undefeated, 7-0 home field record for the 2024 season.

We’re thrilled to begin this transformative investment in the future of our university, our student-athletes and all Tiger fans. For those who missed the groundbreaking, we’re also celebrating a special on-court project recognition this Sunday during the Men’s Basketball game against Kansas. M-I-Z!
