The University of Missouri’s massive $250-million Memorial Stadium improvement project is expected to be done by the start of the 2026 football season in September.
UM System president Dr. Mun Choi discussed Memorial Stadium and the north end zone project Saturday on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable” program:
“When you see the north end zone from the road on Stadium, it looks huge. Wait until you see it from the field. It’s immense,” President Choi says.
Mizzou football coach Eliah Drinkwitz has predicted that the fan experience at Faurot Field in Columbia will be enhanced by further enclosing the stadium’s north end.

“They also have very strong, very strong programs to support agriculture. Because of the land grant mission that many universities have,” President Choi says.
