Faurot Field
Columbia, MO

Home of the Missouri Tigers, Faurot Field is known for one thing, the Block ‘M’. A new stadium for the Tigers was built to accommodate bigger crowds. In 1926, construction began on Faurot Field and was completed the following year. Built at a cost of $350,000, the Tigers played the first game at stadium on October 1, 1927 against Kansas. The stadium had an original capacity of 25,000 and was named after former Tiger Coach and Athletic Director Don Faurot to help pay off the mortgage on the stadium.
 

The feature that has remained a constant at Faurot Field since its opening is the huge Block ‘M’. Located on the north side of the stadium, it was carved from stone by the freshman class in 1927. Between 1949 and 1965 there were numerous expansions to the stadium including enclosing the stadium and adding decks on both sides of the playing field. Prior to the start of the 1968 season a new press box with VIP lounge was built on the west side of the stadium. In 1985 the grass field was replaced by artificial turf and ten years later it was switched back. The most recent addition to Memorial Stadium was completed before the 1996 season when lights were installed. Today, Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity of 62,000. Fans attending games at Memorial Stadium have seen many great games including 14 seasons in which the Tigers went undefeated.
