Legends of the Gridiron America's Most Iconic Stadiums State by State

25. Missouri – Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium (Capacity: 61,620)

Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium in Columbia is home to the University of Missouri Tigers and brims with SEC spirit. Opened in 1926, it was named after Don Faurot, a legendary Mizzou coach who popularized the Split-T formation. The stadium’s capacity of approximately 61,620 positions it firmly among conference heavyweights, while retaining a unique identity through the iconic “Rock M” set into the north end zone’s hillside. On game days, black and gold floods the stands, with fans participating in pregame festivities along “Tiger Town” tailgates. Over the decades, expansions introduced modern amenities, from premium seating to advanced video boards, ensuring a top-tier experience. Yet tradition still runs deep: the marching band’s rousing sets, the drumline echoing across campus, and a dedicated student section that keeps energy levels high.
