COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri called an audible for its new football facility planned for Memorial Stadium. Mizzou decided it will take down the current south bowl of the stadium rather than build around it, part of what MU hopes is a two-year construction process.
The project, originally estimated to cost around $75 million, will cost closer to $100 million, athletics director Jim Sterk said Friday.
“We’re going to start from scratch and build something very special,” said Sterk, who met with reporters Friday along with MU football coach Barry Odom. Missouri also released new artist renderings of the project.
