K-State releases first glimpse of completed new Vanier Family Football Complex

Kansas State football players are due to report for preseason camp Wednesday, but the Wildcats who’ve already arrived were treated to a tour of the new Vanier Family Football Complex.

K-State released photos of the new building Tuesday, as well as a video of players’ reactions to the new features in the 132,000 square-foot facility, which include:

▪ An 18,000-square-foot strength and conditioning center

▪ A new sports medicine and recovery facility with hydrotherapy and recovery pools

▪ New meeting rooms that overlook Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

▪ A football-shaped locker room that’s twice the size of their old one.

“It is a great day for K-State as the beautiful new Vanier Family Football Complex is operational and open for our football staff and student-athletes,” athletic director John Currie said in a release announcing that players and coaches had moved in.
