Mizzou Arena is the home of the Missouri Tigers basketball teams in Columbia, Missouri. It opened in November 2004, replacing the Hearnes Center as the Tigers' flagship indoor venue, and features Norm Stewart Court, named for the legendary Missouri coach. The modern bowl design keeps fans close to the action, giving Mizzou Arena a reputation as one of the SEC's tougher road environments.
Opened in November 2004, Mizzou Arena replaced the 13,611-seat Hearnes Center, which had hosted Tigers basketball since 1972 and remains in use today for wrestling, volleyball, and track. Mizzou Arena has hosted the Tigers through their 2012 move from the Big 12 to the SEC and has been the site of Missouri's biggest home games of the SEC era.
