Facility Friday: Mizzou Football Facility, West End Stadium

The University of Missouri announced that it received a $10 million donation from an anonymous donor to build a new indoor practice facility. The new building will replace the Devine Pavilion, which opened in 1998, and allow that facility to be used by the school’s softball, baseball and women’s soccer teams year-round. Details of the project are still being worked out, but the athletic department will present the project scope, budget and fundraising plan to the Board of Curators by the end of the month. — MUTigers.com
