KSU Stadium from 1968 until 2005, when it was renamed at Bill Snyder's own request for his family rather than for himself; the pitch is Wagner Field. The limestone cladding and the decorative battlements are a deliberate echo of the old Memorial Stadium it replaced. It has been rebuilt side by side rather than all at once: the west in 2013, the north end in 2015 and the south end in 2021, so each side of the ground is from a different decade.

The Wabash Cannonball is the tradition, and the reason it exists is that a fire in Nichols Hall destroyed the band's library — the only surviving copy of the chart was the one the director happened to have taken home that night. It was first played at a Kansas State game in December 1968 and the crowd now stands from the opening notes. Harley Day brings a hundred motorcycles round the pitch. Two things are new for 2026: colour-changing LED floodlighting installed in July, and alcohol on sale throughout the ground, with sales stopping at the end of the third quarter.

The two main stands are east and west and both carry upper decks, the east one added at the end of the 1990s. The west is the 2013 stadium centre, holding the suites, the clubs and the press level. The south end is the Shamrock Zone of 2021 — a club with loge boxes, suites and, unusually here, a covered concourse. The north end is the football complex rather than open seating. Students sit in the east lower bowl with the band inside the student section behind the visiting bench, which makes the east side the noisy one. For an afternoon game the west side loses the sun first.
