Las Vegas, NV, USA; Kansas Jayhawks head coach Lance Leipold before the Big 12 Media Days at Allegiant Stadium.
Kansas football head coach Lance Leipold held a press conference earlier today during the 2024 Big 12 Media Days in Las Vegas, to provide information about the team and the upcoming season, particularly touching upon the change of the home games’ venues. The entire home Big 12 schedule in Kansas this year entails a total of four matches, and all of them are to be held at Arrowhead Stadium, home ground of the Kansas City Chiefs – a factor that can be called a benefit and at the same time a factor to consider.
Leipold understood this fact by accepting the new challenges such as logistics and strategic changes when playing in an NFL stadium.
Doing so, Leipold pointed out more grass on which the team is practicing than before, as a sign of preparing for the change. “We will continue to do that The first two homes games are in Kansas City, Children’s Mercy Park, that will be different, anytime you have to factor in weather as it goes… We have a very good rapport with the chiefs and anything else that we need to know regarding the grounds, we will be informed. ”
However, after the match against Arrowhead Leipold said he felt somewhat sorry for his seniors who cannot enjoy the newly revamped David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
Actually, there is a part of me that thinks they should be allowed to play in Lawrence or have a try to play in the new stadium renovated site, and this is what Leipold also said. But there is a part that is excited because just like we choose venues such as this to host our Media Days, we get a chance to play at NFL stadiums for conference football games The four gentlemen that are here today will tell you the locker room is excited about it and we are going to have to be ready to go It is what it is we cant control it.
Leipold also stressed the fact that the team had no intention to lower the sustainable standards and won’t see the new environment as an opportunity to do so.
‘We’re not going to slow down the investment that our university has made,’ Leipold said. Our new things in abilities & strategies WILL NOT BE the reasons why we will excuse our selves, no, we are going to look for ways how in order for us to play our best football.
Because this year the team has over thirty seniors in the roster it will seek to make the most out of it. The latter quote from Leipold is still assured that his players will be able to play at Arrowhead and the entire team turns their attention to training and planning with the start of the 2024 season.
“And I feel very confident that our offense will continue to be diverse and multiple and many things we’re doing and continue to grow,” Leipold said. “And I think with the returning weapons that we have, that was going to be imperative that we continue with terminology and things that we’re doing so the players could continue to operate in such a way. ” "
