COLUMBIA, MO. • By a vote of 9-0 Friday, the University of Missouri System Board of Curators approved the $98 million football facility planned for the south end zone of Memorial Stadium.
During Friday’s video teleconference meeting hosted at MU’s Ellis Library, Mizzou athletics director Jim Sterk and Ryan Rapp, the system’s vice president for finance and chief financial officer, made a 20-minute presentation to the board. The curators voted unanimously for the project after a brief discussion.
“It’s going to be a game changer for our university, for the Tigers,” curator Maurice Graham of Clayton said after the vote.
