MANHATTAN, Kan. – Construction on Kimball and College Avenues will impact K-State football gameday traffic and parking throughout the 2020 season with lane closures and altered routes for fans to access parking lots around Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
The current phase of the multi-year North Campus Corridor improvement project is rebuilding the intersection of Kimball and College to include dual left turn lanes for east/west traffic on Kimball as well for north/south traffic on College. This has resulted in reducing traffic to one lane in each direction on Kimball from Ranser Road to the west of the Kimball-College intersection to the east entrance of the Vanier Football Complex (Gate 6) on Kimball. In addition, College Avenue is closed north of the Gate 3 entrance into the stadium’s west parking lot to the intersection of Kimball.
The City of Manhattan, Riley County Police, KSU Police and K-State Athletics are urging fans to use these available routes to access the parking areas around the stadium to avoid congestion:
Parking in the West Lot of BSFS
Access is available through Gate 5 off Kimball Avenue ONLY from the west (driving eastbound) or through Gates 1 or 3 off College Avenue from the south (driving northbound). Left turns off Kimball (driving westbound) will not be allowed into Gate 5.
- Those who come to the stadium from the east side of Manhattan and wish to enter at Gate 5 to park in the west lot must detour north to Marlatt Avenue from either Tuttle Creek Boulevard or Denison Avenue, then proceed south on College to Kimball.
