MANHATTAN — Upon entering Kansas State’s new football complex and seeing the lavish, $65 million facility for the first time, Elijah Lee could not contain his excitement.
“I don’t know if it is possible for anything to be better than Christmas, but it felt better than Christmas,” the sophomore linebacker said. “Going through this facility makes you feel so grateful about what you have. I just want to thank the donors and former players that made it possible.”
Everything about the complex – a 132,000 square-foot building named after longtime K-State benefactor Jack Vanier and his family located on the north end of Snyder Family Stadium – is an upgrade.
