The Kansas State football team will culminate spring practices in a new way next month.
Instead of inviting fans in for a three-hour spring game the way Bill Snyder did throughout his time as coach, Chris Klieman will debut an interactive practice that gives fans a chance to mingle with the new coaching staff and watch a short scrimmage.
Why the change?
“I haven’t done a spring game in years,” Klieman said, referring to his time at North Dakota State. “I think it has kind of gone away a little bit in college football. Some schools that have huge numbers still do it, but if you look at our injury report we don’t even have enough corners to even practice right now.
