Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium is getting some love.

The Missouri Board of Governors announced Friday its plans for $250 million in renovations, per Front Office Sports, which will increase the overall capacity to around 65,000 spectators, among other new features:

"Our significant investments demonstrate our resolve to being highly competitive in the SEC and match our drive for global competitiveness across the entire university," board chair Robin Wenneker told reporters. "This project will ensure that Memorial Stadium remains a source of pride for all Missourians and the greater Mizzou family for years to come."

"This project is a game-changer for Mizzou football," athletic director Laird Veatch added. "This historic stadium renovation will not only enhance the overall fan experience but provide the resources necessary for our program to compete at the highest level in the SEC."

Memorial Stadium dates all the way back to 1926, with multiple renovations along the way to keep it a viable option for the Tigers' football program. This latest one will be one of the biggest ones yet.
