Faurot Field

Faurot Field is a football stadium on the University of Missouri campus shaped like a horseshoe with bleachers along the south end zone. The venue accommodates more than 61,000 spectators across its tiered sections.

The stadium was built starting in December 1925 as a memorial to university alumni who died in World War I, with fundraising efforts beginning in 1921. This origin shows the venue was conceived as a place to honor those lost in war.

The stone M in the north end zone, created by first-year students in 1976, shows how students express their connection to the university. This student-made symbol has become a way for new generations to leave their mark on campus tradition.

Expect large crowds during events and use Stadium Boulevard as the main entry point when driving to the venue. Food and beverage services are available inside, so you can purchase refreshments at various concession stands.

The venue reached its highest attendance on October 4, 1980, during a game against Penn State when more than 75,000 people filled the stands. This record number demonstrates the enormous following the team built over the years.
