US education institute Kansas State University has been given the go-ahead to build a limestone field wall at its Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium.
The wall will serve as the signature component of $3m (€2.8m) in expected off-season enhancements at the 53,000-capacity stadium, which is the home of the university’s Wildcats American football team.
Other improvements at the facility include replacing the existing asphalt track, as well as the addition of speaker arrays to enhance the sound system. The project is due for completion in time for the 2017 season.
John Currie, K-State Athletcis director at the university, said: “The limestone wall around Wagner Field and improvements to our current sound system are two items that our fans are very passionate about and will further our commitment to the Best Fan Experience in the Big 12 upon completion next fall. Ultimately, this project will raise the level of how we represent Kansas State University in front of nationally-televised audiences, visiting fans and prospective student-athletes.”
The project will be funded by the Capstone Campaign, a special opportunity for fans to have their name etched into the history of Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium. A total of 300 capstones are available for customisation at the stadium.
