London venue expects tailgate parties, marching bands and a crowd of up to 60,000 for a landmark US college football fixture, according to BBC Sport.
Wembley Stadium is set to host its first American college football game on Saturday, according to a report by BBC Sport.
The event, which organisers expect to draw a crowd of up to 60,000 people, will feature the trappings typically associated with US college football, including tailgate parties and marching bands, BBC Sport reported.
Among the notable attendees could be one of Kansas' most prominent fans, according to the report, though further details on the identity of this individual were not specified in the source material.
The BBC Sport report also referenced actor Jason Sudeikis, known for his role in the television series "Ted Lasso," in connection with the event, though the exact nature of his involvement was not detailed in the available information.
The game marks a significant moment for Wembley, which has previously hosted NFL matches but has not before staged a college-level American football fixture, according to BBC Sport.
Further details about the participating teams and the broader significance of the fixture were not fully outlined in the source excerpt.
