re: I enjoyed my first trip to College Station

For those of you who sat in the nosebleeds, was the wind bad up there? That's all they could talk about on TV.

It was on and off. At the end of the game, when most of the Ags left in my section, there was a huge gust that lasted for about 30 seconds. It was blowing popcorn, napkins, empty water bottles, cups, etc all over the place

I had a great time in College Station as well. I think it was more because of the people I was with rather than CS being just an awesome place. I had a good time at the game, but the crowd was very unimpressive and the 12th Man is vastly overrated. It may have been because I was sitting on the sideline 15 yards behind the endzone, but it was pretty quiet for the most part. There were a few times when the crowd got loud, but there were also a few times the entire stadium was eerily quiet. After the game was a lot of fun because we won, my friend was doing his ring dunk, and my dream girl surprised me by driving into CS from Houston

I'd call the trip a success, but it was due to the people I was with rather than the mediocre stadium atmosphere.

Weird group.
Very nice.
Early game.
Quiet stadium.
Weird group.

After reading this thread it sounds like they need to torch KF and start over.

They are definitely a weird group with all the excessive pageantry, hand signals, lengthy monotonic chants, "Howdy", etc. Most were very nice, though.

I wasn't really impressed with the atmosphere at Kyle Field. I wonder if the openness of their stadium structure affects the acoustics and doesn't "contain" the crowd noise like Tiger Stadium does. The food at the stadium was above average, though.

The campus isn't really that aesthetic and very spread out.

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...

was not loud IMO... everybody in 502 said the same. But seats was crappy

Zealot, I was in 508. Near that drunk old frick armchair quarterbacking. So high up.

Even when something bad happens their ahhhs seem to even be organized. They end at the same time, if that makes any sense.

I thought the same shite as well.


I felt like all the noise came from the A&M student section sideline. I sat in an all Ags section and nobody around me did any of the cheers except for the war hymn and the one where everyone bends over and starts singin. They only started yelling and making noise on 3rd downs

Had a great first trip, was very different and hard to relate to many of their ways. I thought the noise was loud and I was in lower section opposite side of students. North gate area with the bars was a cool place! Lsu fans took over Friday night.

Future tips. Sit in the endzone first deck if you can ever get tickets there. They are all arm chair seats, easy in, easy out,wide concourses, lots of new restrooms and big concdssion areas.

Parking for the knuckel head complaining about parking and was too lazy to read any free parking information provided. There are thousands of parking spots around the George Bush Librbary and a free bus runs every five minutes dropping you two blocks from the stadium. 90% of visitors park there. Very easy. There is also a free shuttle from the mall.

I had three new Orleans friends come in for the game. They were blown away by row friendly everyone was and at the amount of tailgating.
