When making a list of Big 12 venues to visit, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln or Norman may easily top the list, but Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas might at first seem like a less desirable destination. That just might prove to be a mistake.Regardless of the Jayhawks' performance on field, Kansas fans continue to flock to Memorial in droves. 2009 represented a struggling Jayhawk squad who managed only five wins (after a stunning 12 win season only two years prior) but still averaged 50,581 fans in a stadium that holds 50,071.Built in 1920 to honor Kansas students who died in World War I, Memorial Stadium is a tremendous college football venue. The University of Kansas may be overlooked as a basketball school that is mildly interested in its football when in reality it is a hotbed of fanaticsm for both sports.
in the end, EMAW will always win.
