COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri football coach Barry Odom wants to switch the team sidelines at Faurot Field, a move that would require some seating changes and has at least one student organization unhappy about the proposal.
Odom and members of Mizzou athletics department met with student leaders from nine different campus organizations last Thursday to discuss Odom’s proposed changes, MU athletics spokesman Nick Joos said. Odom wants the Tigers’ bench to be moved from the east sideline to the west sideline at Memorial Stadium and the visiting team moved to the east sideline.
Odom believes there are competitive advantages to having his team on the west side, Joos said.
