The program's first season was 1890, making it one of the oldest college football teams in the country. The team's home field is David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1921 and is the seventh-oldest college football stadium in the nation. Until 2014, Memorial Stadium was one of the few football stadiums in Division I that had a track encircling the field. The track was removed in 2014, as the University's newly built Rock Chalk Park sports complex opened for use by the school's outdoor track and field team. In 2019, immediately adjacent to the west of the stadium, the University of Kansas Football Indoor Practice Facility was completed. The facility was built using only private donations from University of Kansas alumni, most notably David Booth. KU's all-time record was 588–649–58 as of the conclusion of the 2019 season. The program saw a re-emergence under head coach Mark Mangino who won 50 games in eight seasons. Since Mangino's departure, the program has failed to find the same success it under him going 21–108 in the 11 seasons since he left, never winning more than 3 games and never winning more than 1 conference game in a season. In that time frame they’ve had two winless seasons and five losing streaks of 10 or more games.
