I think A&M seems to have the worst location for visiting team tickets than any SEC team. Vandy sells over 20,000 tickets to visiting teams from the 35 yard line to the goal line and most of the end zone.

So where do you see the 7,500 in the "lower bowl" coming from? Watch the SEC games and you'll see a large section of visiting fans in the lower bowl and then the rest are tucked away in corners in high away places.

Where do you think aTm will give up seats in the "lower" section of your stadium to satisfy SEC requirements?

College Station isn't the prettiest city and the campus isn't either but if you enjoy drinking, hanging around good people, and the nightlife scene after a game then you will love it.

Forgive my ignorance, but does the SEC require the lower bowl, or is it just 7500? I see most new fans getting tucked up in the 500's in the Zone and stop selling as many tickets to Stubhub. Because in all honesty, other than the two sides already in the lower bowl near the jumbotron, I don't see us giving up the lower bowl.

I keep seeing all these posts referring to a required of 7500 visitor seats. Is that a fact or just BB rumor?

It sure doesn't look like USC got 7500 from UGA

We have 3500 but that doesn't mean they will sell out i.e. Failor returning over 2000 tickets. Those tickets are then open to the public afterwards I think.

LSU vs. ATM should be a neutral site game at Reliant every three years.

I'm working to find the exact numbers, but 7500 is in the neighborhood. Of those approx. 7500, a certain number of them have to be in the lower bowl. Most schools put the visitors in the end zone for the lower bowl and in the top corners of the upper decks.

LSU fans have complained for years that we provide too many lower bowl seats for our visitors (much more than that required by the SEC). They have heard the complaints and eventually we should be more like the rest of the schools

On average, it is. Fayetteville is about 3 degrees warmer on average in the winter, though.

Lexington, KY
Average: Aug-85, Sept-78, Oct-67, Nov-55

Knoxville, TN
Average: Aug-87, Sept-81, Oct-71, Nov-60

Fayetteville, Ark
Average: Aug-89, Sept-81, Oct-71, Nov-58

Tuscaloosa, AL
Average: Aug-90, Sept-86, Oct-76, Nov-65


Fayetteville is warmer than Knoxville in the Summer and slightly colder in the dead of winter.

Lexington is ALWAYS colder than Fayetteville or Knoxville no matter the time of year.

Not to mention Lexington elevation is 978 ft. while Fayetteville is 1400 ft. and is still warmer year round, ha.

I am not quite sure what will happen those first few years in terms of that. Byrne will not give up the student side. While you guys have a conference that makes everyone give up 7500 tickets, hardly any other school gives out 30,000 to students. I also don't see Byrne giving up seats for the blue hairs, so it may just be the tickets that are given out to Stubhub and other online vendors.


You'll do whatever the f- we tell you to do. Don't care what Byrne may or may not give up. Or how many students you have.

Seriously. A&M won't get any special treatment. We don't even give that to programs that are in the top half of the league.

Great..

We will have Aggis students driving through Arkansas to get to Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

Even worse if their Alumni are coming from Dallas.
