The University of Missouri Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has received a historic $62 million philanthropic commitment to support renovations to Memorial Stadium and the Department's Tiger Fund program. The gift commitment is the largest received by Mizzou Athletics in the university's history.
The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has designated $50 million for the Memorial Stadium improvements projects, which is designed to modernize Mizzou Football’s home stadium, including the redevelopment of the North Concourse along with other stadium upgrades. The remaining $12 million will go toward Mizzou’s Tiger Fund, a charitable program through the Tiger Scholarship Fund that benefits student-athletes at Mizzou.
"This extraordinary commitment is a major step toward fulfilling our vision to transform Memorial Stadium and create the best college football game-day atmosphere in the country," Director of Athletics Desireé Reed-Francois said. "Our pivotal stadium project is not possible without our donor, whose passion for Mizzou's success, coupled with humility, faith and generosity, are unparalleled. We would like to thank our Board of Curators and President Choi for their support, and we are also grateful for Mizzou Senior Associate Director of Athletics Greg Hulen and Vice Chancellor Jackie Lewis for their efforts on this generous commitment."
