How could the sports scene at KU get any better?

• The Jayhawks won both the FedEx Orange Bowl and the men's basketball NCAA Championship in 2008. The success continued in 2009 with an Insight Bowl victory and an appearance in the men's basketball NCAA Sweet 16.
• Our past accomplishments prepare us for unparalleled success in our 2009-2010 season ... expectations are at an all-time high.
• Today, our female student-athletes compete at the highest levels in rowing, soccer, tennis, softball, golf, swimming and diving, basketball, track and field, cross country and volleyball.
• Thanks to the generosity of many of you, Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse are among the best venues in the country for college sports.
• Additionally, the Booth Family Hall of Athletics and the Anderson Family Football Complex provide world-class fan and student-athlete experiences.

It would be easy to take a breather, but now is not the time to rest. We must continue our momentum.

As in all walks of life, we face intense competition. Rival institutions are building great facilities. Other universities are recruiting top student-athletes. Other schools are striving to be national champions.

That is why, with the support of Gale Sayers, John Hadl and other great Jayhawks like you, we are creating the Gridiron Club. With your help, KU's sports scene will get even brighter.

The Gridiron Club is a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive initiative that will significantly improve all of Kansas Athletics' facilities, while at the same time reward Gridiron Club members with the best game-day experiences in collegiate football.

In the following pages you will learn more about this exclusive, exciting, legendary opportunity.

KU fans are the best in the world. Together, we've been through highs and lows. You've helped us achieve great things.

But, we can do more. Please take a moment to learn about the Gridiron Club. I'm confident you share my commitment to building the best facilities for our student-athletes and I hope you will join us at the Gridiron Club atop Memorial Stadium on game day.

Thank you and Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Director of Athletics

It has been years since my playing days, but my heart remains on the field at Memorial Stadium. That is why I am so excited to help launch the Gridiron Club.

Through your participation in the Gridiron Club, we can create great and lasting memories for future student-athletes and fans like you who know just how important athletics can be for world-class universities like KU.

I look forward to seeing my dear old friends, and making new ones at the Gridiron Club.

Go Hawks!

Gale Sayers

Every fall, Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium comes alive with the sights and sounds of KU football. Nothing is greater.

Until now.

The Gridiron Club is your ticket to an incredible new fan experience. Plus it is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to support each and every current and future KU student-athlete.

I have never been more proud to be a Jayhawk. Please join me in making the Gridiron Club a great and lasting success.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
