FAQ

What airport do I fly into for David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium?

Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is the main airport, roughly 55 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.

Which neighborhoods are best for a College Football game weekend in Lawrence?

Most visiting fans stay in Downtown Lawrence (Massachusetts Street), Oread neighborhood, West Lawrence or Kansas City metro. Lawrence's Mass Street hotels are small and sell out fast with 2-night minimums, so many fans stay in the Kansas City suburbs along K-10 and make the 40-minute drive to the newly renovated stadium.

When should I book a hotel for a game at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium?

Book now for any weekend you actually want. The full 2026 schedule is out, and the marquee home dates are the ones hotels reprice first. Grab a free-cancellation rate: if the price drops later you rebook, and if your plans change you cancel free. Waiting only ever helps you on the low-demand games.
