HOME OF THE JAYHAWKERS—Memorial stadium will be the scene of Saturday's Homecoming struggle against Nebraska, and 40,000 fans are expected to jam it. Normally, the capacity of the stadium, which was built in
1921, is 38,000. But for important games, bleachers are erected in the south end of the stadium to seat about 2,000 more. The attendance for five home games in the 1951 season was 118,000. The attendance for the first four
games this season is about 130,000, and the expected 40,000 tomorrow will push the total to 170,000. The field is enclosed with a cinder track for track meets. The stadium serves as the home of the Kansas Relays.
