Leave the game be with them. No Reliant Stadium, no Superdome, no neutral site, nothing. Leave it as is.

You completely ruin the whole experience when you move the game to anywhere other than on campus at each respective school's stadium.

LSU did this for years with Bama and Ole Miss. We are now doing it with Arkansas.

What makes the series fun is when we can travel to College Station and experience their backyard, and vice versa.

No way the game is played outside of Louisiana on a yearly basis.

Can something get old if you only go once ever two years?

i dunno, personally I'm not very excited about that road trip. after the newness wears off, meh. i'd rather see the game played in a sold out reliant/superdome, w/ half P&G/half maroon.

Not as fun as a college campus imho. Reliant is corporate; College Station is a college campus--tailgating on a campus never gets old to me.

Superdome, different story. But why move your home game somewhere else when you play in the greatest stadium on the face of the planet?

Sure, but I'd still rather spend Saturday afternoon on campus and then drive to Austin or Houston for the night and next day. Tomato, tomato.

I could not agree with this more. No one likes to make fun of Aggies more than me, but Kyle Field is great place to watch a college football game.

hows the tailgating? i was under the impression that their tailgating was scaled back from what we're use to. not sure where I got that and i could be totally off base.

I'm not for A&M coming to the SEC for recruiting reasons but if it has to happen, it has to be home and home. NO HOUSTON or DALLAS (Jerry World), Not the SUPER DOME or Atlanta or NASHVILLE etc etc. HOME and HOME only.

I'm not sure now, it used to be very limited I believe. I used to go to A&M games with friends (old gf, her brothers had season tix, another bud of mine had tix in the same section) and we always went to Northgate (Dudley's, the Dixie Chicken etc) and it was a great. Most of the parking is on the other side of the stadium from that.
