In this 1968 photo, Norm Stewart looks over a model of Mizzou's new 15,000-seat basketball arena. It was supposed to be ready for play in 1970, then for the 1971-1972 season, but the Tigers would not play there until the 1972-73 season. Post-Dispatch file photo.
On March 8, 1971, Mizzou brought back the alumni for the final men's basketball game at Brewer Field House. But things did not go as planned in the game (a loss to Kansas) or for the Tigers' new home, which would not be ready as planned for the 1971-72 season, leaving the Tigers to return to Brewer for one more season.
