City announces game-day bus service from downtown to KU’s Memorial Stadium

By Staff Reports     Aug 28, 2015

The city of Lawrence is again offering an alternative to searching for parking around Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium — and walking for blocks to the game — this football season.

Park downtown and catch the bus.

The Lawrence Transit No. 11 Downtown/Football Service buses will run all seven home-game Saturdays, according to an announcement from the city. The Jayhawks’ home opener is 11 a.m. Sept. 5 against South Dakota State University.

The fare is $1 per person. Buses will run two hours prior to kickoff through one hour after kickoff, or when no more passengers are left. On game days, parking will be free at the garages in the 900 block of New Hampshire Street, the 600 block of New Hampshire and the 700 block of Vermont.

Downtown football bus stops are at Ninth and Massachusetts next to the U.S. Bank building, at Sixth and New Hampshire in front of the Riverfront Parking Garage and at Eighth and Vermont in front of Douglas County Senior Services.
