In a literal sense, Memorial Stadium (which wouldn’t have Faurot Field added on to its name until 1972) was built almost a century ago, opening in 1926.
However, this Saturday, when Faurot Field will host a sellout crowd on Senior Day for the 13th consecutive home game, the atmosphere will have been built by the men in black ... and gold.
27 Tigers will walk on Senior Day this Saturday, many of whom helped vault Mizzou to national prominence last season and continued the high-level success this season.
Even though the 2024 campaign fell short of preseason expectations — ones that projected a trip the the College Football Playoff — a win over Arkansas and whomever its bowl game opponent is will mark back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in MU football history.
