KU Athletics renderings show major changes to football stadium as part of $350M plan

Kansas Athletics has unveiled renderings for the renovation of 97-year-old Memorial Stadium, part of a five-year, $350 million fundraising effort that was officially announced by KU on Friday night.

The project, called “Raise The Chant,” will earmark roughly $315 million for football while also providing upgrades for Allen Fieldhouse, volleyball’s Horejsi Center and baseball’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“It’s an exciting day,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said. “You dream of days like this in your career when you can announce these types of numbers.”

Zenger first spoke about the Memorial Stadium renovation at a Kansas City alumni event in June.
