Colleges and universities across the country have struggled to convince fans to stick around for the duration of football games. On Saturday, the University of Kansas opened its stadium gates to incoming ticketless traffic for most of the second half of the Jayhawks' game against No. 3 Oklahoma.

As reported by the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kansas led the game at halftime, 10-0, and carried a 17-10 lead into the fourth. It was 1:15 p.m. — more than two hours after the game kicked off before 47,000 mostly empty seats — when KUAthletics tweeted, "The gates are open on the east and west sides of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, no ticket required. Show up. Be loud. Rock Chalk."
