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

[fro daddy]

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.

The logos & emblems do look a lot better. But the biggest improvement might be that little SEC emblem on the field. :

Looks like there is another deck on the sides too. Renovations look really nice, fro! Remember going there back in the 80s. Crazy place to be, but we were treated pretty good. Good luck with getting the expansion financing and getting the remodel done!

Whats the current seating capacity?

Whats the current seating capacity?

71,004. That is with roughly 7K in temp and GA hill seating. I believe there are a little over 64,000 perminant seats currently.

Thanks, is there an estimated completion date?

Now all you have to do is fix your message board from the 90s and you're all set

[tschu]

Yeah, you're gonna need the extra seating to accommodate those big visiting SEC fanbases...

Does Missouri have a money tree they aren't sharing with anyone?

Only them and 13 of their closest friends. Its called the $EC.

Field is beautiful, stadium looks grungy, needs some pressure warshing.

They are expected to announce the plans around the end of june. Its rumored to be 200 million worth of work over 3 years done in stages. From everything I have heard they have the majority of the money already raised by some of the larger boosters.
