Going For Gold – A Vision for Excellence at Faurot Field

the-zou-rennovations-1 Welcome to The Zou Last year, the University of Missouri football team donned their new black and gold uniforms for their SEC debut. This season, the Tigers will be showing off a much bigger style change. After 87 years of season-long grinds, the football stadium originally known as “Memorial Stadium” will be called by a new name. On top of this, the stadium’s appearance will also take on a new identity. The University plans to call the newly renovated stadium “The Zou,” and the stadium’s additions will be made to the East and West Sides of the facility. The total project cost for the Tigers will amount to $45.5 million, and its expected completion date is August 30, 2014. Although the finished project is a year away from its completion, the wait will be well worth it, as the changes to the stadium will offer an even more enjoyable experience for the fans than ever before. Let’s take a closer look at some of the upcoming and exciting changes you can expect for your Missouri Tigers’ polished home field.
