University of Kansas: David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium

David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium was built in 1920 and was dedicated to the memory of Kansas natives who died during World War I. The David Booth part was added in 2017 after businessman and alumni David G. Booth pledged $50 million to overhaul the facility.

It couldn’t have come at a better time since the stadium has been criticized for needing an upgrade. There were complaints about the lack of aircon in the restrooms, bad seating, and inconveniently placed concession stands. In August 2017, renovation including new seating and a touchdown club behind the north end zone started. Renovations also included new flagpoles and banners on the outside wall.
