The University of Missouri’s board of curators has approved the construction of a new football facility and an expansion project for Memorial Stadium’s south end zone, reports NBC Sports. Construction on the US$98m upgrade project is expected to begin in 2018, with completion expected ahead of the 2019 season. The renovation will include 16 new suites, a 750-capacity field-level club, new video boards, concourses, and a 200,000ft2 football facility. The upgrades will reduce Memorial Stadium’s capacity from just over 71,000 to approximately 65,000.
