Bill Snyder Family Stadium is a stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. It is used for American football, and is the home field of the Kansas State University Wildcats football team. It is named after the family of head coach Bill Snyder.[4] Over the past 31 seasons – from 1990 through the 2022 season – K-State is 169–51–1 (.767) at home.[5]
The stadium has an official seating capacity of 50,000 and is the eighth-largest among current Big 12 members. After new construction in 2013 and 2015, the exterior of two sides of the stadium is clad with limestone, and features towers with decorative limestone battlements – reminiscent of the appearance of the school's old World War I Memorial Stadium.
