The University of Missouri is embarking on a $250 million project to transform and modernize Memorial Stadium.
The project is expected to be completed for the commencement of the 2026 college football season—also coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Mizzou’s first game at the stadium.
Led by DLR Group, the renovation seeks to preserve traditional elements of the stadium while improving the fan experience.
The north end of the stadium will be enclosed, adding 160,500 square feet of new construction that includes 98,000 square feet dedicated to premium seating. These improvements will introduce 2,000 new premium seats—comprising 600 loge box seats, 260 mezzanine club seats, and 66 suites—and increase the stadium’s total capacity to nearly 65,000.
Highlights include the field-level 300-person Rock M Club (built directly under the historic Rock M Hill), as well as 14 open-air suites on Faurot Field that can each accommodate up to 16 guests.
Additional renovations include upgraded restrooms and concessions, a new team recruiting center, and a community event space for year-round use.
