Here is a trivia question/point to ponder with regards to Faurot's capacity and expansion......

Currently, Faurot Field is the 23rd largest "college" stadium (not a multi purpose/shared stadium) at 71,004. Where did Faurot Field rank in 1978 before the MU administration choked the AD practically to death?

The capacity then was 75,298.
