The two things aren't exactly the same . . . but who cares if people don't understand that.

I just find this whole, "we didn't really try in the Big 12, but golly, we're really going to try now that we're in the SEC" shtick from mu hilarious.

Honest question, how often did they sell out their stadium before?

If you ask Tigerboard . . . every game.

But you see, they really, really care now . . . they were just going through the motions in the Big 12, but now that they're in the SEC . . . intrinsic laser rocket armed focus.

I am just impressed they are building an additional 5,000 seats, that will sit empty.

mizzou coworker is all about this today. says he hopes they rename the stadium Faurot Memorial Stadium, and then the field after the trust fund from Kansas City that donated all the money, so they can "stick it to Kansas." whatever, dude.

Nice to see they are adding an upper deck and club level. That only puts them what? 12-14 years behind KSU?

It's kinda like Missouri is splurging on it's own coffin. Spending big bucks so they look purdy on tv losing to teams with oversigned 5*'s.

I went to one game there around the year 2000... I recall it looking like an airplane hangar from the outside.  Does it still look like that?

The press box does, and the rest looks like a giant pile of dog crap on new green turf.

Watched that game on TV.  It looks like a HS stadium on TV because the angle is so low.

Was not MU's last major update to the stadium, be this one announced, a major reduction of seating so they could put in the Missiour lettering in the endzone? That said SEC right there fellas.

I love how they are saying this already so when they have a ton of empty seats throughout the season they have the built in excuse that those seats belong to the SEC fans who bought season tickets for the one game where their team is playing in Columbia.

Will explain how they are claiming a sell out.
