    The Ultimate Guide to KU Football Home Games

    Game day logistics, tailgating tips, and the best places to stay near David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

    1. Pre-Game Festivities on the Hill

    Tailgating on Campanile Hill is a KU tradition. Arrive early to secure a spot, bring your crimson and blue, and enjoy the Marching Jayhawks as they make their way down the hill before kickoff.

    2. Parking and Logistics

    Parking near the stadium can be challenging. We recommend taking advantage of the downtown shuttle service or walking from our downtown Mass Street properties, avoiding the post-game traffic jams completely.

    3. Post-Game Celebrations

    Win or lose, Mass Street is the place to be after the game. Head to The Wagon Wheel or Johnny's Tavern for classic Lawrence celebrations. Staying close to downtown means you can walk home safely.
