Mizzou officials will request approval for the proposed football indoor practice facility at Thursday’s meeting of the University of Missouri System Board of Curators, according to agenda documents prepared for the meeting.
Mizzou has set a budget of $31.68 million for the new facility, projected at 86,400 gross square feet, and will present a funding plan for approval. MU expects to have the funding plan and project approved by the Board by May. MU has already received two $10 million gifts from unnamed donors to help cover the costs.
After conducting a feasibility study last month, Mizzou plans to build the indoor practice field adjacent to the football team’s south end zone team facility at Memorial Stadium, which was completed in 2019.
