David Booth Kansas
Memorial Stadium
Phase 2
Phase 2 of the University of Kansas Gateway District expands beyond David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, as Phase 2 centers around the east grandstands of the stadium and the development of a mixed‐use district that activates the area year-round and benefits both the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence.
Phase 2 includes the completion of the east grandstand of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and adding student housing, a full-service hotel, a range of retail, restaurant and office space, an outdoor event plaza, and an underground parking facility that will provide significantly more parking.
Funding will come from a mix of private donors, university sources, and public incentives.
Phase 2 is intended to fully realize the vision of the Gateway District as a vibrant campus and civic gateway—boosting student life, event hosting, local business, and economic development in the region.

Director of AthleticsThe University of Kansas continues to demonstrate its commitment to completing a 360-degree new build of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Simultaneously, we are focused on elevating Kansas Football, as recently demonstrated by increased investment in staffing and student-athlete retention and acquisition. We will not be deterred as we continue our work to build Kansas Football into a program all Jayhawks will be proud of and support. We are thrilled with the new west and north sides of The Booth and, in earnest, have begun the transformation of the east and south sides in advance of the construction of the mixed-use development that will create the Gateway District for the University of Kansas.
Our fans have stepped-up in support of this project via game-changing donations and the purchase of season tickets. As we head into year two, it is vital that we continue that trajectory to ensure the completion of The Booth and the continued build of Kansas Football.
