COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri administration broke ground Saturday on a $250 million renovation of the school’s football stadium, the construction project’s ceremonial commencement.
MU athletics director Laird Veatch, the UM System Board of Curators and other administrators marked the occasion with a brief ceremony before Mizzou’s game against Arkansas atop the grassy hill to the north of Faurot Field.
During Saturday's game, Missouri also revealed new animated renderings of Memorial Stadium's future.
Work on the renovations is expected to begin in the near future, though some preparation, including the arrival of equipment, has been taking place over the last several weeks.
