Reunions
KU Spirit Reunion: Oct. 14-15, 2010
Members of spirit squads throughout the years are invited back to the Hill each time KU plays K-State at home (which happens every other year). Spirited alumni will enjoy a tailgate before heading into Memorial Stadium to cheer the Jayhawks from a special block of seats.
Please note that the 2010 matchup between the Jayhawks and Wildcats has been scheduled for Thursday night, Oct. 14. Due to this change, Late Night in the Phog (Friday, Oct. 15) has been added to the reunion events.
