LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas Jayhawks will play in front of a sold-out crowd in their season opener and first game at the reimagined David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, as Kansas Athletics announced a sellout for Saturday's matchup against Fresno State.
Â
Kickoff between Kansas and Fresno State is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. CT with the game nationally televised on FOX. Capacity for David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium is set at 41,525 for the 2025 season.
Â
Kansas, in partnership with Legends sales and service, has now sold out at least one game in each of its last four seasons, including its 10th sellout over that span. Kansas has eight sellouts at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium since the start of the 2022 season, and two sellouts at Children's Mercy Park during the 2024 season.

Fans can visit the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium fan guide for pertinent game information, including where to park and tailgate, a map of the new layout and much more.
Â
Saturday's game vs. Fresno State marks the first game played at the new David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and the completion of Phase 1 of the Gateway District, a transformative, multi-phased development that redefines the campus's northern entrance.
Â
Among the changes fans can expect on gameday include a new seating bowl on the west and north sides of the stadium with improved sightlines and increased fan proximity to the field, along with expanded concourse circulation, upgraded accessibility, all new concessions offerings, diverse new premium seating options and an overall more comfortable gameday experience.
Â
The Jayhawks enter the 2025 season under fifth-year head coach Lance Leipold, who has led the program to new heights with 22 wins over the past four seasons, which is the most over a four-year stretch at Kansas since 2007-10 (25). Leipold led Kansas to back-to-back bowl games in 2022 (AutoZone Liberty Bowl) and 2023 (Guaranteed Rate Bowl) for just the second time in program history.
