MANHATTAN, Kansas&nbsp;&ndash; With kickoff to the 2025 K-State Football season just two&nbsp;weeks away, K-State Athletics announced new fan experience and gameday improvements to Bill&nbsp;Snyder Family Stadium for the August 30 home opener.&nbsp;
 STRIPE OUT AND DRONE SHOW Fewer than 1,200 tickets remain for the opener with North Dakota, which will feature the program's first-ever postgame drone show. With 300 drones lighting up the night sky, the show combines cutting-edge technology, custom animation, and synchronized music to create an unforgettable experience for this year's home opener. The drone show will feature a series of formations designed specifically for K-State, including some of the best moments in Wildcat Football history.
 Fans are encouraged to&nbsp;kick off the 2025 home season in style with a Stripe Out of Bill Snyder Family Stadium and&nbsp;wear either purple or white based on seat location.

 CAT CUSHIONS All new Cat Cushions have been installed around the stadium for season ticket holders who added cushions to their order. The brand new 3" foam seat cushions and upright back rests have been replaced and will provide an improved experience.&nbsp;
 Cat Cushions are padded chair backs installed at your seat location(s) for the season, clearly defining your space while providing extra comfort.&nbsp;
 Season ticket holders can check your online account to ensure you've added Cat Cushions or call 800-634-1636 or visit wildcatseats.com by Friday, August 22, if you would like the new cushions to be installed at your seat location in time for kickoff.&nbsp;
 North End Zone season ticket holders already have permanent back rests on their bench seats and are unable to add Cat Cushions to their account.&nbsp;
 The Wildcats open the 2025 campaign in Dublin, Ireland, on August 23 before two straight home games in Manhattan against North Dakota and Army.&nbsp;<a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkstatesports.evenue.net%2Fevents%2FFBSG&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cklannou%40kstatesports.com%7Cc8a1d691ee574239896608ddd5c3f6cf%7C5a31d35ec35349f980a97f967cb9e5be%7C0%7C0%7C638901759906573619%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=YBG3QdCvz0QHW3wYYJsA9rEkK0cSlhT4rsiHDgb0pG8%3D&amp;reserved=0" data-outlook-id="5153fc2b-c896-423b-b100-104843b3cb3e">Click here for more ticket information</a>.</div>
