Sporting Park transforms for Saturday’s K-State spring football game
K-State’s 2015 Purple/White Spring Game and surrounding activities are Saturday at Sporting Park, and the transformation is underway at the home of Sporting Kansas City.
Groundskeepers painted football lines on the soccer field Wednesday to prepare for the game, which was moved because of the ongoing construction at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan.
Sporting Park was host to last year's NCAA Division II football championship game.
Another change is that fans of legal age will be able to purchase beer.
That is a noticeable difference from K-State football games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, where beer and alcohol sales are limited to suites and club levels.
