Mizzou athletics looking to sell naming rights for Memorial Stadium

The days of “Memorial Stadium” are likely numbered.

In an effort to generate more revenue for the athletic department, Mizzou is selling the corporate naming rights to Memorial Stadium, per a press release. Should MU find a corporate partner, the university would drop “Memorial” and replace it with a corporate entity.

“This is another incredible opportunity to position Mizzou Athletics for the future,” Mizzou athletic director Laird Veatch said in the release. “Memorial Stadium enters its second century as college athletics continues to evolve rapidly. Securing naming rights reflects our ‘Will to Win,’ which includes a commitment to investing aggressively in our ability to recruit, retain and compete to win championships while also being thoughtful and intentional in honoring our past.”
