I thought the campus was meh the stadium was bad and it was the quietest sec venue I've been to. Dissappointed there after all the hype. The traditions are really weird but the people were great, women were attractive, and the bar scene was a lot of fun. Good trip.

I am surrounded by aggie fans here in Cypress and, trust me, some are not afraid to talk shite about LSU and Louisiana. most are really good people who really love the crap out of their school and team. sound familiar?

Huh, are you sure you were at the game? Maybe it was the wind direction or something but that MF was as loud as anyplace.... it was impressive in my opinion.

I dare say, TS would not be nearly that loud for an 11 AM kick off no matter who we were playing.

It was definitely one of the better atmospheres to go out Friday night. My group quit paying for drinks around 12:30 and it was all guys. A&M definitely had a lot of talent walking around that night.

Overall I thought Kyle Field was a let down. There was never a point during the game where the crowd played a factor. The yells are weird and the students are way too excited about them. I get that everything is based on tradition but I fear they are in for a rude awakening traveling around the SEC in years to come.

I don't know where you were sitting - but I could not dis-agree more with that. their crowd was into it and loud the entire time -- until Hill's long TD and then they started heading for the gates and the noise never came back up. But before that, it was definately loud.

If you are one of those people with seats up in the clouds, Kyle isn't loud at all. It's a much different deal the lower you go.

I'm not saying Kyle Field is earthquake loud, but you can get different impressions way up high. Glad some of y'all were treated well.

No stadium is loud if you are ABOVE the crowd not IN it.

Saturday I was in row 5 of the mezanine level -- on the closed end... it was loud.

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).


We sat in section 100 (across the field from the band), our seats faced the end zone bleachers.

Maybe heard the A&M band twice the whole game.

Thx man, we had a blast. You guys were great, can't wait for the return trip next November. In fact, we may make A&M our baseball roadtrip this spring.

I also thought it was cool that they let all the fans out on the field after the game
I thought that field was sacred? they beat the crap out of UT folks once for getting on the field.. interesting.

Overall a decent trip. I was let down with the atmosphere honestly though. Yeah I sat in section 302, but the crowd was incredibly weak. I've sat in uppers at most stadiums and that was the weakest of the bunch. Maybe the wind? Who knows, but it was a let down. The cheers were lame, the entire crowd bent over for some song before the game. Just a very strange bunch, but very hospitable for the most part. Pretty good trip and I will definately go back.

Yeah hit me up on Facebook ... We have a huge baseball tailgate at Olsen. Y'all give me a shout.

Where'd you guys end up on north gate last night. I started shooting whiskey at dry bean and got carried to the tap and then home by midnight.

Today has been rough.

I ejoyed my trip very much. Very nice people. The only 2 a-holes in the stadium we sitting right behind me and drunk as hell, But that's the only 2 I encountered. Overall very hospitable and friendly people.

Everything other than the stadium was great.

Took 30 minutes just to get into the stadium. Then we had to wait just to get to our seats??? Concessions were a joke.

Could they fit more people in there?? I basically had to stand sideways the entire game.

Probably the worst stadium I have ever been too...

I guess Tiger Stadium just spoils us

fyi I sat in the lower level and it still just wasn't loud. Maybe for BIG12, but not SEC. They'll see when they travel through the years.
