Fans, Founders Club members, K-State faculty and coaches of the newest K-State Athletics team joined together to celebrate the groundbreaking of the future home for Wildcat women's soccer.
"It's a very special day," said head women's soccer coach Mike Dibbini after breaking ground on the new fields. "This is a big commitment from our athletics department at K-State, so we're very excited."
The new soccer fields, located just south of Tointon Family Stadium, are planned to be completed by the summer of 2016 before the K-State women's soccer team competes in its debut season that fall.
"This is an exciting time," said Director of Athletics John Currie.
