Tailgating at Kansas is a laid-back, welcoming affair centered around the parking lots on the hill west of the stadium.
🍺
Food & Drinks
Fans begin setting up three to four hours before kickoff, and you'll find a mix of barbecue smokers, cornhole boards, and crimson-and-blue canopy tents.
⏰
Timing & Arrival
Mass Street, Lawrence's vibrant downtown strip just minutes east of campus, is a must-visit for pregame dining and drinks — spots like Jefferson's and The Wheel keep the energy high.
🅿️
Parking Reality
Free street parking can be found in surrounding neighborhoods if you arrive early, but expect a 10-15 minute walk.

PRO TIP
Hit up The Wheel on Massachusetts Street for cheap drinks and a true Lawrence pregame vibe before heading to the hill.
