I enjoyed my first trip to College Station

Pretty much agree. They are a strange group, but very hospitable for the most part.

I agree very good road trip. We will be going back again.

I enjoyed CS also.

Kyle field is terrible though. Sat in section 149 (behind the band) and our seats were 15 yards behind the back of the end zone and were faced straight toward the stands in front of us (not curved).

Also idk of it was because of the early kickoff. But Kyle field was as quiet a stadium as I've heard.

I was with a very rowdy group. Sat right behind the Aggie ROTC's on the fourth row on the 20 yard line one section over from TGBFTL. If we would've been in any other SEC stadium we probably would've been asked to leave. What can I say? Welcome to the SEC Aggies.

To be fair most of the Aggies thought it was funny and were good sports. But yeah, their fans are going to need to develop some "game" or they are gonna get crushed in the fandom department.

That poor yell leader who was in front of us caught Holy Hell, but I'm pretty sure he's heard it all before. And it wasn't me it was the other guys. I was simply trying to imitate the moves. It looked like some sort of dance people on Ecstasy in the '80's used to do.

Seriously though some of those ROTC guys looked rather bashful performing those cheer moves. But again, I'm sure they've been catching hell for years and are conditioned to it. But it's still odd and funny as hell.

We had a real good time!

I also thought it was cool that they let all the fans out on the field after the game. My kids had fun going down on the field and throwing footballs and running around with all of the other kids. Must have been 300 footballs being thrown around, had to keep your head on a swivel to keep from taking one to the face

As regards the Stadium itself, where we were on the fourth row in section 147 it took until the end of the first quarter for everyone to get to their seats. It was ridiculous.

Going for concessions at the start of halftime was also ridiculous. Was that the only concession stand in the stadium? Geez! It took until the end of the third quarter to make it back to our seats! Aggie fans said it is always like that. Why was I not surprised? Well it IS Texas A&M...

Why have 3 separate stand sections? why not build a bowl like a real stadium? If they had filled in the corners instead of putting people in the clouds it would be a much more awesome atmosphere and the noise would be off the charts.

And it just doesn't look like it holds 87,000. The high school stands in the open end makes it look rinky-dink.

The parking sucked. Parking in neighborhoods when there was acres and acres of land near the stadium that could be used for parking was rather lame.

My view from heaven

Was very impressed w/ the amount of Aggies who hung around & partied after the game. Props for not bein sore losers.

Only ran into 1 shitty group of Aggies, & one of them was a ex-Aggie/NFL lineman. Obviously still roided up.

Weird. It sounded loud all the way through the game watching it at home.

A pic of bonfire memorial at dusk. Really well done. You can just start to see the lighting. Met an aggie and his young son while we were there. He was in school at the time and lost a friend in the collapse.
