The storied history of Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field combines the best of old and new. Opened in 1926, the stadium has seen tremendous growth throughout the years, but Tiger fans are proud of the traditional feel and atmosphere the stadium lends itself to on game day.
The 2019 season saw the debut of perhaps the most significant addition ever added to the stadium's skyline - the new South End Zone complex. The facility, which houses the every-day operations of the football program, is a state-of-the-art operations facility which will also provide numerous new amenities for fans - the most visible which is a massive scoreboard/videoboard spanning the width of the building.
Multiple private club levels and 16 luxury suites are available for donors, as well as improved seating, concessions and restrooms for the public. The structure had a price tag of $98 million, and capacity at the stadium increased to approximately 61,620 when it opened on September 7, 2019.
Debuting in 2014 was a spacious new upper deck (called the Tiger Deck) and a beautiful lounge/club level just below (called the Walsworth Family Columns Club), which features 1,200 luxury seats and top-notch amenities. The Tiger Deck provides 4,200 seats, and with improved new public facilities.
Eye-catching ribbon boards, providing real-time stats, out-of-town scores and other information, were installed on the facades of both the east and west structures prior to the 2014 season.
Fans saw many changes for 2013, including a newly-renovated west press box/luxury suite tower, as well as a change to the historical hill beyond the north end zone.
The hill was moved closer to the field to allow for an expansion of the north concourse area - providing much more space for fans to congregate during games. The historic Rock M was broken down and stored away safely during the summer and brought back with the same rocks to maintain the important historical landmark that Tiger fans have grown to love.
