Construction on their current facility that won't be ready in time for the fall.

KU has a massive stadium renovation going on so they're moving some of their home games to Arrowhead.

Thanks! KC might be a good away trip this year. But, I suppose not too much different than usual against KU, since Lawrence is not that far away from KC. The new airport terminal in KC is nice.

It will be interesting to see if the different venue will carry Kansas's traditional fight to the last 2 seconds against TCU....Only 3 of TCU's 10 wins have been greater mov than 10....2017, 43-0; 2019, 51-14; 2021, 59-23....Then there's that ugly loss to Kansas in 2018 there, 27-26....

So, uh, when do they start the construction?

Went to the old stadium for the 2022 Frogs game and was severely outdated, took forever to get out and had portapottys

That's a rendering of the finished product.

The new seating bowl looks very much like Amon Carter, but they have the video board on the south end instead of the north.

Wish they would replace the turf, too. It seems like we always have a serious injury or two every time we play on their crappy field.

Are all those lightning rods there to provide the stadium with electricity?

In 2013 I took my daughter to make visits to KU and MU (Missouri Tigers). First stop was KU, and while daughter was in a meeting, I walked over to the stadium and was shocked at how small it was. Next stop was MU, and was very surprised at how small that was, as well.

Minimal viable product, a la. U. of Houston. Esthetics are on the exoskeleton.

Still cool looking, especially after first seeing it after the Boom Boom Room in 2012. (Age shown.)

KU also playing their first two "home" games at Children's Mercy Park, a soccer facility for Sporting KC. Capacity about 19,000. Games against Lindenwood (first time playing an FBS school) and UNLV. Four conference games at Arrowhead.

We played for two seasons in a construction zone.
