Missouri names the playing surface Faurot Field in honor of legendary football coach Don Faurot. Faurot had helped lay the initial stadium sod in 1926 as a graduate student, before later leading the football team.

Capacity: 51,223
Surface: Grass
Memorial Stadium opens on October 2, 1926 at a cost of $350,000. Missouri and Tulane play to a scoreless tie before a sellout crowd. Due to the heavy rain, the field surface consisted of dirt, sawdust, and tree bark instead of the planned sod.
