Emergency Information

One of the core goals of K-State Athletics is to provide the best fan experience in the Big 12 while making every effort to provide a safe environment for those attending games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

It is important that fans take time to review the emergency procedures established by K-State Athletics and create their own personal emergency plan in the event an emergency situation should occur. You are responsible for your own safety and using good judgment to assess risks and taking the appropriate actions.

Stadium Emergency Preparedness Reminders

  • Check the weather forecast before leaving home and come to the game prepared.
  • Be aware of the nearest stadium exits and shelters from where you are seated.
  • Establish a designated meeting place in the event a member of your family or group should become lost or separated.
  • Stay calm -- do not rush -- do not panic.
  • Review the stadium map and identify the locations of First Aid (East: Gate E; West: Behind Section 2) and Fan Accommodations (East: Gate F; West: Gate D)..
  • If you observe suspicious or criminal activity, report it immediately to police or stadium event staff.
  • In the event of a stadium emergency or inclement weather, public service announcements will be made over the stadium's public address system and posted on the videoboards.
  • In the event of inclement weather, fans are encouraged to tune to 101.5 FM or 1350 AM for weather information and updates.
  • Please remain in your vehicles or a permanent shelter if a severe thunderstorm (lightning, hail) occurs prior to stadium gates being opened.
