LAWRENCE, Kan. (KCTV) - A brand-new walkthrough space, team room and additional meeting spaces were included in the unveiling of new changes to the Anderson Family Football Complex, KU Athletics announced Monday.

The new additions to the complex follow recent upgrades to the facility and come as the program continues renovations to David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. KU’s football facility now features a renovated weight room, locker room, athletic training space, fueling stations, player lounge, recovery space, meeting rooms and more.

“The renovations to Anderson Family Football Complex will have a profound impact on our student-athletes, as it gives them a place to train, recover, study, fuel and improve,” head coach Lance Leipold said. “These additions to the facility wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support that we have received as we continue to give our student-athletes one of the best experiences in all of college football.”

KU Athletics said the new walkthrough space is 2,400 square feet and has a video board that will help the Jayhawks prepare for gameday with in-game scenarios. One of KU’s new meeting rooms will overlook the football stadium.

This August, the renovated football stadium will reopen after KU spent the 2024 season playing its home games at Arrowhead Stadium.

Once completed, KU said the additions to the football complex will feature over 33,000 square feet of new construction and 40,000 square feet of renovated space. All the additions are part of the Gateway District project, with the first phase opening in August with the football stadium.
