Proposed upgrades and changes to Mizzou's staduim and the new field

29 May 2012 - 11:45 AM

I am not sure if too many will care with all the conference changes and such, but I figured I would post this because so many of you have either visited or alteast seen it on TV for many many years.

The field (before and after)

Here are some of the drawlings for the staduim work.

These drawlings show a raised south end to equal both the existing East and West sides. New end zone luxury suites at the top of South end. It will hold new coaches offices also. Add 2 video boards to the south corners. Build a brick facade on the East side like the one on the current West side. Adding luxury suites to the east side, with a second deck on top of those. Squaring the North end. Includes moving the hill and rock 'M' inward towards the field and expanding the pavilion area at the entrance.

Also includes renovation of the existing pressbox and commons areas. And a gutting and redo of many inner workings within the staduim.

From what I have heard they are looking to bump seating capacity to the mid to high 70's. 75-78K is what has been talked about. Add in the GA-SRO tickets and any temp bleachers I have hard they are shooting for the low to mid 80s at capacity. There has been some talk about perminant seats in the north endzone, but I havent heard anything that makes is seem like that is something that would be done right away, if ever.


Anyway...just thought I would share for those who might be interested.
