COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) _ A Kansas City group has donated $10 million toward the

University of Missouri’s effort to build a new football practice facility.



The university on Thursday announced the gift from the Kansas City Sports

Trust.



A release from the university says details of the new facilities are still in

the planning process.



Director of Athletics Jim Sterk says in the news release the gift is an

important starting point for fundraising for the football facility.



Originally, the university planned a football-only facility at Memorial Stadium

but the project as grown into a proposed indoor practice field/student-center.



The Kansas City Trust is a group of anonymous donors living in or near Kansas

City. It has already given Missouri athletics a $30 million gift in 2012 and

another $10 million in 2004.
