Guns banned at KU’s Allen Fieldhouse, Memorial Stadium, other Kansas college arenas

While it will be legal to carry concealed weapons on Kansas college campuses come July, athletic stadiums and arenas in Lawrence, Manhattan and Wichita will remain off limits.

The Kansas Board of Regents on Wednesday approved plans from three of the six universities it governs to prohibit the concealed carry of guns in stadiums and arenas during athletic events with 5,000 people or more.

University of Kansas Jayhawks fans heading to Allen Fieldhouse or Memorial Stadium for a game will have to leave their handguns behind and be prepared to shuffle through metal detectors.

The same goes for Kansas State Wildcats fans at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium and Bramlage Coliseum.
