UM Curators approve study on new indoor football facility at Mizzou

December 7, 2020 By Bill Pollock

The Columbian Missourian reports that during Sunday’s UM System Board of Curators’ special meeting, the board unanimously approved a feasibility study on building a larger Mizzou football indoor training facility. University leaders feel the Devine Pavilion (which is only 70 yards) limits the ability of Mizzou athletes to train year-round at the same level as other Southeastern Conference football teams. Every other SEC team has a full 100-yard indoor facility.

Construction of a second indoor practice facility has been part of a plan since at least 2011, but there has been a desire for a full-length practice facility going back to the early days of the Gary Pinkel era. The Devine Pavilion was built in 1998 at a cost of $12 million.
