BRAMLAGE COLISEUM

KSU-7

Bramlage Coliseum is a 12,528-seat multi-purpose arena in Manhattan, Kansas. The arena's primary function is as home to the men's and women's basketball teams for Kansas State University.

The arena is located in the northwest corner of the Kansas State campus, along with the rest of the school's athletic facilities, abutting the south end zone of Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

The arena was built to replace Ahearn Field House, K-State's basketball facility from 1950 to 1988. Construction of Bramlage Coliseum began with a groundbreaking on October 18, 1986, and was completed in 1988. The construction was funded entirely by student fees and donations from alumni and friends of the University.

On November 26, 1988, Kansas State University officially opened Bramlage Coliseum with an 81-77 victory over Purdue. The first basketball game actually played in the arena, however, was an exhibition contest between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs on October 21, 1988.
