Missouri’s athletic department announced an $8 million donation to its plans for a football facility project Wednesday. The new donation follows a recent $10 million gift for the facility, meaning that in the last two months Mizzou has received two of its top-five largest contributions in program history.

“We are so grateful for such a transformational gift,” Director of Athletics Jim Sterk said in a statement. “We’re very excited to continue this process and keep momentum going. Our next steps include meeting with architects to determine all of the details of the project and then our goal will be to present our final plan with the funding model to our Board of Curators for their approval in February,” he said.

First-year coach Barry Odom also expressed his appreciation for the commitment to the Tigers’ future.

“This is such an exciting time for our program, and I’m so impressed with our donors and the support they’re giving for this project,” Odom said. “I can’t say enough just how thankful we are for gifts like this. We’re going to create a first-class facility, something that our fans will be proud of, and something that will have a huge impact for years to come for our student-athletes,” he said.

Specific details of the project will be revealed at a later date.
