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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is the largest in Memorial Stadium\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday was also Senior Day, which offered a great opportunity to thank 27 student-athletes for their contributions to Memorial Stadium\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re 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\u2019re also celebrating a special on-court project recognition this Sunday during the Men\u2019s Basketball game against Kansas.
