Hotels Near David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium

Home of the Kansas Jayhawks — Lawrence, KS

Where to stay: 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. Most visiting fans book in Downtown Lawrence (Massachusetts Street) or Oread neighborhood, and for cfp & bowl season dates (December 2026–January 2027) the smart move is a free-cancellation rate booked before the matchup is even official.

Quick facts

Booking for a playoff date: how it actually works

Playoff hotel demand in Lawrence moves in two spikes. The first hits when a home game becomes possible (a series lead, a clinch scenario); the second — much bigger — hits the moment the date is official, usually just days before the game. Rooms near David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and in Downtown Lawrence (Massachusetts Street) go first, then demand ripples outward.

The play: book a refundable room during the first spike, before certainty. If your team doesn't get the game, cancel free. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.
