With the Kansas State University football game scheduled for Thursday night, out-of-town fans and Manhattan residents hoping to get home after work may experience traffic delays.
Areas around Bill Snyder Family Stadium and the major streets that lead to it, including Anderson Avenue, Denison Avenue, College Avenue, Kimball Avenue and North Manhattan Avenue, will be congested. These areas should be avoided if you are not attending the game. Traffic using K-177 and U.S. Highway 24 to enter Manhattan for the game should expect delays.
Kansas State University is encouraging fans to arrive early to ease the traffic congestion. Stadium and satellite parking lots open at 1:30 p.m., according to KSU Athletics. Parking on campus may be limited until 5 p.m. Parking on streets surrounding the stadium is limited, according to the City of Manhattan’s game day parking restrictions.
If you plan to stop in Aggieville, note that parking in City Park is limited and restricted to paved and graveled areas. Construction is ongoing in the City Park Pool parking lot and at the 11th and Fremont intersection. Please use caution in these areas.
