For 2024, they'll be the Kansas City Jayhawks.
$300 million in renovations to Booth Memorial Stadium will push Kansas out of its home for this coming season, and so on Tuesday the program announced it will play its home games in Kansas City this fall.
Non-conference games against Lindenwood and UNLV will be played at Children's Mercy Park, home of Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City, and the Jayhawks' four Big 12 games will take place at Arrowhead Stadium. TCU, Houston, Iowa State and Colorado are spared the bus ride down Interstate 70 this fall.
Sporting Park is located on the Kansas side of Kansas City, while Arrowhead is on the Missouri side, making KU perhaps the only team in college football history to play home games in a separate state.
Sporting Park is a roughly 30-minute drive from Lawrence, while Arrowhead is closer to 50.
