  1. Alcohol and generators are illegal at our parking lots in the same way that it's illegal to drive 66 MPH when the speed limit is 65.
  2. You can avoid a big part of the toll road if you do this: - Get off of 35 in Wichita and get on I-135. - Take I-135N through Wichita and Newton. - Just after Newton, get off I-135N and get on KS Highway 50. - Take Highway 50 east to KS Highway 77N. - Take Highway 77 north to Junction City. - Exit on to I-70E. - Take I-70E to K-18 (Manhattan exit). - Take K-18 past Ogden and the airport, it will lead you directly into the west side of town. This will also shave about 45 minutes off your trip if you do this instead of taking the turnpike to Topeka. Hope you enjoy Manhattan.
  3. I'm not sure where you got that info...we did get a $100,000 donation to build AstroTurf in our stadium from a gentleman who won the lottery, but for the most part we financed our early facility improvements under Snyder, which was a massive risk at the time. We borrowed millions of dollars and still could barely afford it. At one point we bounced a check with a construction company and they stopped working for three days. Snyder called a meeting and volunteered to use his own money to pay the company...our AD at the time told him, no, we'll find it...which they did. The lottery winner donated $100,000 total...a one-time thing. Our biggest donors are usually mega-farmers or engineers or architects. Once Snyder started winning we were able to build further improvements to the stadium using donations from our wealthier donors. But to say we turned our program around because we had one lottery winner is absurd.
