Faurot Field Seating Chart
Faurot Field is the home of Missouri Tigers football at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, famous for the giant white rock M built into the north end-zone hillside. The bowl fills with a loud SEC crowd, and Rock M is one of college football's most recognizable landmarks.
Sections at Faurot Field
Faurot Field's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Lower bowl — sideline and end-zone rows closest to the field
- East and West sideline sections at midfield
- North end zone — seating around the Rock M
- South end zone sections
- Upper deck — second-level seating along the sidelines
- Suites and club above the west sideline
Best seats at Faurot Field
West sideline sections near midfield put you on the press-box side with shade in afternoon games. The lower east sideline gets the student energy, and seats near the north end give the iconic Rock M backdrop in frame.
Tips before you go
Campus lots and garages open early for tailgating, so arrive ahead of kickoff to settle in. The west side stays shaded longer for afternoon games, and the upper deck offers the best overall view of the field and the famous hillside M.
How to read the Faurot Field seating chart
Faurot Field seats 62,621 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.
Three things decide a Faurot Field seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Faurot Field map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.
