They will put you in the corner of the end zone. These are pretty ****** seats IMO.There's a group of us planning to attend K-State game this year. Never been there before and are looking for recommendations. Lodging, food, tailgating, etc.
On specific question I have is where they seat the visitors section? Some places it;s pretty crappy.
Hotels are pricy on game weekends. Topeka is less than an hour away, has plenty of rooms, and you can come to Manhattan Friday night to enjoy Aggieville. https://www.aggieville.org/events
There's a very old but nice country style B&B in Council Grove that we always stayed at before moving to MHK. It's 30 miles south of town. https://www.cottagehousecgks.com/
As for seating, since it's Thanksgiving weekend there may be several options open that wouldn't be for most games. The ISU sections are 19 and 430. https://ev12.evenue.net/evenue/linkID=kansuse/core/seating_charts.html#snyder
As for food, the best restaurant in Kansas is Harry's, downtown Manhattan. https://www.harrysmanhattan.com/
We also like the Tallgrass Tap House for more casual dining and local brew. https://tallgrasstaphouse.com/menu/
The best bar and bar food is So Long Saloon in Aggieville. http://solongsaloon.com/
The best b'fast in Kansas is downtown at The Chef. http://thechefcafe.com/
If you're flying, you can come by American from ORD or DFW direct. http://flymhk.com/

Are you calling it The Bill?As for tailgating, the lots next to the Bill are reserved for season ticket holders. But there's nice off-site lots just west of the baseball stadium that go for $25/30 a space. Looking at this picture to the southwest, those private and church lots are on College (see map above) across the street from the baseball stadium and directly south of Via Christi Hospital. An easy, one block or less walk to the stadium.
It's been nicknamed 'the Bill' since the renovation and naming, Bill Snyder Family Stadium.Are you calling it The Bill?
Please call it “The Bill”
please call it that.
This was back in the Seneca days, but we were seated in the 2nd to top row, end two seats of the corner facing the camera when we went. Looks like a few renovations since then, but we were so far back we couldn't see replays, etc on the big screen. We needed binoculars just to read the numbers on the players. And all the restrooms/concessions were at the ground level - so 4 flights of stairs down & back. Blerg. And for that we paid $45 each.As for tailgating, the lots next to the Bill are reserved for season ticket holders.

The renovated stadium includes toilets at midlevel for the upper stands. But the angles and distances have not changed. We sat in the corner before and didn't find the seats all that bad. Higher in the corner is better. That's where ISU's band will be if they venture down for the game.This was back in the Seneca days, but we were seated in the 2nd to top row, end two seats of the corner facing the camera when we went.

When we went on the CF bus road trip we were in the endzone seats. Bad angle, but 9 miles closer to the field.
