Missouri has received a record 10th seven-figure donation during the last 11 months, breaking the school record for the most such donations in a fiscal year.
The Tigers’ athletic department announced an anonymous $1.2 million gift Wednesday for the construction of a new football facility at Memorial Stadium, which is expected to open for the 2019 season.
"We continue to be overwhelmed by the generosity of our donors who are stepping forward in record numbers with transformational gifts in support of the Tiger Scholarship Fund and the South End Zone Facility, both of which are critical to the long-term health of Mizzou Athletics," Mizzou athletic director Jim Sterk said in a statement announcing the donation.
