Good morning, Lawrence.

Lawrence hotels remain underbooked ahead of the World Cup as most reservations come from regular summer travel + some properties report increased guest counts for Team Algeria’s Tuesday, June 16 match in Kansas City; new visa bond waivers and targeted marketing to international fans may boost future bookings.

KU baseball made history by earning its first NCAA Tournament Regional appearance after winning their qualifying game last night.

The team will build on this milestone as they prepare for upcoming matches at home.
