Two Traditions Meet on the Court

If you have had the opportunity to attend a K-State basketball game this year, you have noticed an addition on the sidelines -- Valentino's Pizza.
Valentino's Pizza is truly a Manhattan tradition.  Valentino's is known for its pizza throughout the Midwest.  Valentino's has had a presence in Manhattan for nearly 30 years.
This year the two traditions come together, K-State Athletics and Valentino's Pizza.  Now you can see Valentino's being sold at Wildcat Basketball games.  There is talk that Manhattan's favorite pizza may be served at the Bill Snyder Family Stadium as well as other athletic events.  Where else can you find two winning venues under one roof -- Valentino's Pizza and  Wildcat Sports -- only in Manhattan!
