As construction continues on the latest Bill Snyder Family Stadium project, Kansas State President Kirk Schulz and athletic director John Currie announced Thursday a major $2.9 million gift from long-time supporters Steve and Kay Theede.
The gift will benefit both Phase IIIB of the stadium’s master plan and the Ahearn Fund.
In recognition of the gift — which is the 26th seven-figure donation to the department since 2009 — K-State Athletics will name the West Stadium Club Level the Steve and Kay Theede Club. A ceremony to honor the family and dedicate the Theede Club, in addition to a special on-field presentation, will take place surrounding a home football game this fall.
