Univ. of Kansas unveils stadium renovation plans

The Univ. of Kansas is "moving forward with its project to renovate the football stadium," and KU’s athletic department named HNTB the lead architect in partnership with Lawrence-based Multistudio and Nation’s Group. The upgrades to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium are part of a larger “11th and Mississippi Project” that includes mixed-use development. The project is set to break ground next year. Kansas AD Travis Goff: “We won’t cut any corners. ... Profound is what the outcome will be.” No dollar amount was revealed, but Goff was later asked specifically if $350M "would cover the total cost." He said, “That’s what I believe we have … that’s in the Board of Regents-approved kind of rolling annual budget.” The project "will start with renovations to Anderson Family Football Complex" and will later feature "upgrades to the in-game experience such as seating bowl design" (K.C. STAR, 10/8).
