David Booth attends the Border Showdown at the Memorial Stadium

University of Kansas alumnus David Booth is in attendance for the Border Showdown football game against Mizzou on Friday evening. The matchup is held at Memorial Stadium, which currently carries the donor's name in recognition of his contributions to the athletic program. Booth, who is the founder of the investment firm Dimensional Fund Advisor, provided a $300 million donation to the university in 2025. This contribution stands as the largest single gift in the history of the institution. During an interview ahead of the game, Booth stated that the stadium project has significantly influenced the community and local. He remains at the university site to witness the Border Showdown, marking a return to the institution where his history with the program began.
