Faurot Field Events

Situated on the campus of the University of Missouri in the small city of Columbia, Faurot Field is coming up on its centennial (in 2026) as the home of the Missouri Tigers football team. The stadium has one of the classic horseshoe designs popular in the early twentieth century, though stands have now been added to its open end and there has been considerable reconstruction in the years since to modernize and expand the facility. The open layout of the stadium provides expansive views of the town and its beautiful natural surroundings. The north end of Faurot Field contains a grassy knoll (used for extra cheap general admission seating during games) that contains an iconic large white M made of thousands of small whitewashed rocks (each graduate of the football team is allowed to take a single rock as a memento of their time playing for the Tigers). Students and locals refer to Faurot Field as “The Zou,” taken from a nickname for the university (“Miz-zou”) which is now a popular stadium call and response chant (where one group of fans chants “MIZ” and another responds “ZOU!” and progressively get louder and louder as they shout back and forth). Fans dress up in the black and gold of the team (the gold being closer to an orange shade, perhaps) or in tiger costumes of various descriptions. Much beloved mascot Truman the Tiger is known for revving up the crowd with his iconic (and hilarious) tail spin and other goofy antics, and the marching band leads everyone in rousing renditions of “Every True Son, Fight Tiger.” As well as Tigers home games, Faurot Field is known for hosting high school football and other sporting competitions, as well as university sports such as intramural soccer. Concerts have been held at the stadium before, but are not common. Fans who arrive hungry at Faurot Field (if not already full after tailgating) will find plenty of tempting stadium grub, including Brew Pub pizza, brisket sandwiches, and turkey legs, as well as some excellent craft beer. Those searching for Tigers merchandise will find all sorts at the kiosks and shops in Faurot Field as well as around campus.
