Mizzou Arena is an indoor arena on the campus of the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, USA. The facility, home to the school's men's and women's basketball teams, opened in November 2004 and replaced the Hearnes Center as the school's main indoor sports facility. The arched-roof building seats 15,061, and is located just south of Hearnes and Memorial Stadium. The arena is host to Missouri State High School Activities Association championships for basketball and wrestling.

Mizzou Arena is double-decked on three sides (the sidelines and the east baseline) and has a single large bleacher section on the west end, where student groups (such as the main "Zou Crew", Student Athletic Board, and the Antlers) stand, as well as Mini Mizzou (basketball band). Seats in the south stand, lower level are fully cushioned theatre-style seats and are sold to the members of the Tiger Scholarship Fund club, the main fund-raising arm for the athletic department. There are around 35 private boxes between the lower and upper levels, offering full food and drink service, televisions and other comforts. The club level has a private bar, The Stalcup Room, named for former Tigers coach and athletic director Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup. The arena has a wider variety of both concession stands and food choices than Hearnes did, and has a large Tiger Team Store outlet.

Mizzou Arena also includes offices for the Men’s and Women’s basketball programs, the Athletic Administration and Mizzou Arena’s Building Operations. For the basketball programs the arena also offers locker rooms, a 24 hour practice gym, weight and training facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, video classrooms with audio and video editing capabilities, and an academic study center.
