World War I Memorial Stadium, Football stadium in Manhattan, Kansas, United States.
The stadium features concrete grandstands on the east and west sides with a total seating capacity of 17,500 spectators and garden areas within the seating bowl.
The stadium opened in 1922 to honor Kansas State students who died during World War I and served as the home field for Kansas State Wildcats football until 1967.
The Purple Masque Theater in the West Stadium and Berney Family Welcome Center in the East Stadium demonstrate the transformation from sports venue to educational space.
The renovated facility now functions as a practice field for the marching band and hosts club sports activities including lacrosse and rugby on its FieldTurf surface.
The stadium's original design included a horseshoe shape, which was completed in 2002 with the construction of the K-State Alumni Association Alumni Center.
