LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Football will play in front of a sold-out crowd for its 111th Homecoming, as Kansas Athletics has officially announced a sell out for Saturday’s 11 a.m. game vs. Oklahoma.
This is Kansas’ second sellout of the 2023 season and fifth under head coach Lance Leipold, as the 5-2 Kansas Jayhawks take on the 7-0 Oklahoma Sooners inside David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
The game will also be the site of FOX Big Noon Kickoff, which airs beginning at 9 a.m. CT on Saturday. FOX will broadcast the game beginning at 11 a.m. CT, with Jason Benetti (play-by-play), Brock Huard (analyst) and Allison Williams (sideline) on the call.
Kansas won its last home game in front of a sellout crowd, defeating BYU by a score of 38-27 on Sept. 23. The Jayhawks are 8-2 over their last 10 home games, with Saturday’s sellout being the fifth over that span.
