University of Kansas to rename football stadium for booster
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas plans to rename its football stadium to honor a major donor.
The Kansas Board of Regents Wednesday approved the university's request to rename Memorial Stadium to the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
Booth gave $50 million to the university's athletic department in September. He has given several other financial gifts to the university, including $4.3 million to buy and donate James Naismith's original rules of basketball.
Kansas chancellor Douglas Girod told The Topeka Capital-Journal that many details still have to be completed, including what the signs will look like and where they will be placed.
