COLUMBIA, MO. • Shortly before Missouri coach Barry Odom took his turn on the SEC teleconference Wednesday, MU announced another anonymous donation for its new football facility.
The gift is worth $1.675 million, with $1 million earmarked for the proposed football building planned for the south end zone of Memorial Stadium. Earlier this month, MU received a $10 million donation from the Kansas City Sports Trust for the same project. Mizzou estimates the facility will cost around $75 million. At the time of the $10 million gift, athletics director Jim Sterk said MU was roughly $20 million away from reaching the price tag.
