About Bill Snyder Family Stadium
Bill Snyder Family Stadium is an American football stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. The Kansas State Wildcats, a Big 12 Conference team, play their home games there, and the stadium is named for the family of Bill Snyder, the Wildcats' head coach. Originally called KSU Stadium, it opened in 1968 with seating for 35,000. Kansas State beat Colorado State 21–0 in the first game, on September 21, 1968. The stadium replaced the on-campus Memorial Stadium, where K-State football had been played since 1922. Its official seating capacity is 50,000.
Construction in 2013 and 2015 left the exterior of two sides clad in limestone, with towers topped by decorative limestone battlements that recall the old World War I Memorial Stadium. The $90 million West Side Stadium Center, which opened for the 2013 season, was the most significant addition since the stadium was built. This limestone-clad facility covers about 23,000 m2 (250,000 square feet) and holds concessions, a K-State Hall of Honor and a student-athlete dining hall. The Dev Nelson press box it replaced was imploded on December 15, 2012.
At the north end, the Vanier Football Complex opened in 2015 as the team's new base, housing staff offices, training spaces and locker rooms. The south end was partially enclosed in 1988 when the neighboring Bramlage Coliseum was completed. In September 2021 the university unveiled the Shamrock Zone there, a $50 million project with 10 suites, 10 loge boxes and 318 club seats spanning the south end.

- Braces under the stands
- The stands sit on rows of thin diagonal braces and vertical ribs. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print or with a fine nozzle.
- Thin panels at the corners
- Tall, thin panels rise at the upper corners of the stands. Print slowly with cooling and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers so the corners come out clean.
- One piece with the ground
- Bill Snyder Family Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
