Student-athlete Impact

This project will provide a profound impact to student-athletes through much-needed upgrades to Kansas Football facilities. The renovations to the Anderson Family Football Complex will directly affect the current roster through a brand new, state-of-the-art locker room and weight room were was officially made available to the team in August of 2023. These current updates will continue to propel the team forward in their relentless pursuit of improvement and championships.

The upgrades to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will enhance the fan experience through new amenities, seating options and modernization of the full gameday experience, bringing more fans to the stadium on gamedays. Fans will be closer to the field of play with elevated sightlines creating the ability to impact and amplify the home-field advantage and level of support for the athletes. This will all create an energetic atmosphere, one of the best in the nation, and escalate the level of play as well as the recruitment of new student-athletes to represent the great university.

Kansas Football
Growing up in Lawrence and now being a part of Kansas Football, the Gateway District Project will have a great impact on the City of Lawrence, University of Kansas and for us as student-athletes. These changes will continue to propel the team forward for many years to come and I’m excited for our fans to experience a new Kansas football atmosphere. I can’t wait to see the impacts of the Gateway District Project that will greatly benefit the University of Kansas, Kansas Football, the City of Lawrence and beyond.
