New West Side Expansion is currently under construction:

Cue the people who are confused that there is no stadium in Manhattan, NY, and that this stadium is actually in "The Little Apple" Manhattan, KS.

So they're beginning the construction after this season? Good for them. Snyder's a generally class act, though I don't rate the school myself.

I'm surprised, though, with the configuration. If they've got the market for more premium seating then great, but this particular design really limits eventual capacity. It means no more general seating along the sidelines, where the bulk of the audience would prefer to be. I realize KSU isn't Texas but the school is big enough that the program could easily expand.

At least the expansion is being done very well.

I really like the look of this expansion. It sort of looks like Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech from the outside and what Lane Stadium should have looked like on the inside.

So tragic.

That expansion reminds me of a toy store in Cincinnati that my folks used to take me to back in the 70's called Children's Palace.

Nice pictures! A bit surprised that the glass was not removed prior to demilition though, I thought it was common to strip buildings to its structure before demolishing with explosives.

Not big enough to keep up with today's "big boy" college football programs...

This is America. Blowing up good crap and starting over to make a few extra pennies is a timeless tradition.
