The first Jayhawks football game is here, and we are excited to welcome fans back to campus!

As you head to David Booth Memorial Stadium, please keep safety in mind:

✅ Arrive early and expect increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic around campus.
✅ Use designated crosswalks and stay alert when walking near roadways and parking areas.
✅ Lock your vehicle and keep valuables out of sight.
✅ If celebrating, have a plan for a sober ride home. Never drive impaired.

Our officers will be on campus throughout game day to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. As the stadium area is still under construction we would also like to remind everyone to stay out of the active construction zones while celebrating! Kansas Football

KUPD Safety Reminder- Lock it or Lose it

A locked door is one of the easiest ways to prevent theft.

✅ Lock your dorm room, apartment, and vehicle.
✅ Don't leave backpacks, laptops, or phones unattended.
✅ Keep valuables out of sight.

Most campus thefts are crimes of opportunity. Don't make it easy for thieves.
