"Editor's Note: Are you headed to Manhattan for TCU's game against the Wildcats? Here's what to expect from a game day experience at Kansas State's Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Andrew Bauhs of College Football Tour is a college football superfan. He is on a journey to attend a game at all 136 FBS stadiums. He desires to have an immersive experience so he can tell the stories of the traditions, rivalries, mascots, bands, and fans that make each venue unique."
"In the earliest years of Kansas State athletics, they were known as the Aggies. Since then, the university switched to Wildcats, but their original nickname still lives on in the name of Manhattan's entertainment district known as Aggieville. Packed with bars and restaurants, the area is alive both pregame and postgame. A Saturday gameday starts on Friday night. The Pub Crawl Band features a group of Kansas State Marching Band members who play in Aggieville and various hotspots in Manhattan."
Manhattan, Kansas, nicknamed The Little Apple, hosts Kansas State University and the Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The stadium radiates purple and combines intimate sightlines with an imposing atmosphere that amplifies fan passion. The nearby Aggieville entertainment district preserves the school's agricultural nickname and fuels pregame and postgame energy with bars, restaurants, and the Pub Crawl Band. The Pub Crawl Band features marching band members performing in Aggieville and local hotspots to build anticipation. A 1968 music-department fire destroyed instruments and sheet music, but the sheet music for 'Wabash Cannonball' survived after the marching band director took it home.
