Stadium: Faurot Field Stadium
Faurot Field, also known as Memorial Stadium, is a stadium in Columbia, Missouri. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the University of Missouri Tigers. The stadium is a typical horseshoe-shaped stadium, with seating added on in the "open" endzone. The horseshoe is completed by a grass berm in the curved end, which is used for general admission on game days. The berm is famous for the giant block "M" made of painted white stones located behind the endzone. This distinctive feature has not been immune to pranks, such as enterprising Nebraska or Kansas fans attempting to change the "M" to an "N" or a "K", but groundskeepers and students have in the past protected what may be the stadium's best-known landmark. There is a short buffer zone of shrubs placed between the field and the stands around the entire length of the horseshoe, as well as a paved road (taking the place of the track, removed in the mid-1970s).

Season Preview:
If not for a history of near-misses, the Tigers could be rated as a contender in the Big 12 North. With a vast array of offensive firepower, the Tigers should be tough to stop and could be dangerous as long as the defense plays solid. But the prospect always exists of a stunning defeat, such as the one last season at Iowa State when the Cyclones were on the verge of going winless in the Big 12. QB Chase Daniel not only turned out to be a suitable replacement for multiple record-holder Brad Smith, the sophomore turned out to be a gutsy leader his teammates respect mightily. Daniel should only improve as a junior, and his stable of playmakers includes TB Tony Temple and a pair of outstanding tight ends, Chase Coffman and Martin Rucker. Missouri's offense should flat roll. The defense is the biggest concern for Missouri after allowing 184.1 yards per game on the ground against Big 12 opponents. The defense often withered because it was unable to get off the field against superior opponents. Seven opposing rushers enjoyed 100-yard games against the Tigers in conference play, and there are no assurances Missouri's front seven will be better. A walk-on who came to Missouri as a diver on the swim team, Jeff Wolfert, was awarded a scholarship during the spring after setting MU records for field goals (18), points by a kicker (99), consecutive PATs (45) and field-goal percentage (.900). After struggling to field a consistent kicker throughout his tenure, coach Gary Pinkel was happy Wolfert came to the rescue and gladly rewarded him with a scholarship.
