Memorial Stadium

This is Memorial Stadium, where the Jayhawks play football.  I can’t describe how much fun I had at this stadium while I was in college.  Every Saturday in the fall I’d get up and head down to my friend’s house which was 3 houses north of the stadium.  One season I didn’t buy a single ticket, yet attended every home game that season.  That was the same season we tore down the goalposts three times; the most in the nation.

This is a four shot panorama I took one Saturday in October of 2005, while still a student there. Obviously that day was not a home game day.  I used to park in that parking lot in the foreground.  Apparently part of my old lot is gone now; replaced by an indoor practice facility.  I believe it’s the second indoor football practice facility on campus.  Mangino must have been doing something right for them to build him another.  I’m excited to see what he can do with the team nex… oh wait, they fired him for some reason.  They said they were tired of a ‘mean’ coach, and hired some ‘nice guy’ coach.  Well the loser coach before Mangino was a ‘nice guy’ coach, and KU’s football program was horrendous.  We’ll see how the new guy does; my hopes are high, but my expectations are low.

Everyone talks about KU basketball.  I am proud to tell people I had more fun at KU football games.  Even if we lost, I could still say my coach could eat your coach.  Now we don’t even have that.
