Kansas Athletics is planning $22 million in improvements for its volleyball and baseball facilities, according to the upcoming Kansas Board of Regents agenda.
The athletic department is seeking approval for a $10 million rebuilding of Horejsi Center, which houses the volleyball team. The project would have KU increasing its seating from 1,300 to “a minimum of 3,000,” along with improved lighting, video display, sound system and locker rooms. The proposal says that Horejsi, which opened in 1999, would be “razed,” though the adjacent Allen Fieldhouse would stay open during construction.
KU Athletics also is requesting permission for a $12 million refurbishing of Hoglund Ballpark, which would include a new grandstand with “2,000 stadium seats, including 80 field-level suite seats, and eight press box-level suites that accommodate 40 people each.
