KANSAS CITY — University of Missouri administration formally approved a $250 million renovation of Mizzou’s Memorial Stadium Tuesday, the expected next step for the project.

The stadium’s new-look north concourse is expected to be ready in time for the 2026 college football season and will feature several new premium seating areas. Nothing vastly changed from a design or plan standpoint between an April announcement of renovation plans and unanimous approval from the UM System Board of Curators during a Thursday meeting — except for the implications.

Ground will be broken on November 30 in conjunction with MU’s final regular season football game of the year, a tangible step toward the realization of renderings once again touted after the meeting.
