UM Curators approve naming MU football’s indoor practice facility for alums/donors

The UM Board of Curators has voted unanimously to name Mizzou football’s new indoor practice facility in Columbia for two longtime supporters of Mizzou athletics.

MU graduates Brad Stephens and his wife, Rachel Cohen Stephens, have made cash and in-kind contributions.

Construction of the $33 million facility is scheduled to begin this fall. It’s being funded through private donations.

Tiger football coach El Drinkwitz says an indoor facility to train and practice in is crucial to the program’s player development efforts.
