This is Memorial Stadium's second major renovation since Missouri joined the SEC six years agoUNIV. OF MISSOURI
Univ. of Missouri officials expect the renovations on the south end zone at Memorial Stadium to bring in $6M from "all revenue sources per season," which is "four times more than the previous south end zone configuration delivered annually," according to Daniel Jones of the COLUMBIA DAILY TRIBUNE. When the new structure is completed by '19, MU will have "new, sparkling locker rooms and coaches offices; multi-purpose event decks in the stadium's southeast and southwest corners; a brand-new rooftop video board; capacity for 4,000 fans in general seats, club seats and suites; and a 'Bunker Club' inspired by AT&T Stadium." This is Memorial Stadium's "second major renovation since Missouri joined the SEC six years ago." The concrete in the south stand was "sinking into the ground." The new structure will be "supported by pillars that drill into the bedrock, so there's no worry of sinking." MU said that the new structure would "hold 1,324 general seats, down from 10,800 in the old structure." Crowded concourses "should be a thing of the past." The rest of the capacity in the new south stand will be "divvied up between 16 suites, 1,254 club seats and a separate 750-person field-level club." MU has "not yet started selling tickets for premium seating on the south end." The school will "enlist the help" of Legends to "market and sell the premium seats" (COLUMBIA DAILY TRIBUNE, 6/17).
