Kyle field expansion/renovation

[Saggy Aggie]

Read where they're talking about upgrading the current field and expanding to increase the capacity from 88k to 115k, making it the biggest stadium in the country

[jason]

so expanding a stadium that they don't even fill at its current capacity?

[StangEm]

:clap::clap::clap:

My thoughts exactly.....

[Saggy Aggie]

so expanding a stadium that they don't even fill at its current capacity? a&m sold out every home game this year.

And going to a new conference is going to greatly increase attendance.

The wait list to get season tickets is >3000.

Nice try genius

Nice try genius Kyle field has a stated capacity of about 83,000.

Average 2011 attendance was about 87,200, 10th most in the country, and that's only going to rise

[NastySlot]

so expanding a stadium that they don't even fill at its current capacity?



2011
Attendance: 86951
Attendance: 86623
Attendance: 87361
Attendance: 87358
Attendance: 86934
Attendance: 86411
Attendance: 88645

Kyle field has a stated capacity of 82,600 (Athletic Website)


might need to redo your math and/or thinking?

also you do know there is a long waiting list for season tix and I believe the ticket allotment for SEC schools is almost double/triple that of what is allotted in the big 12. Also I think SEC rules don't allow for the temporary seating (chairs) around the field.

now does a staduim that big need to be built? I don't think so.

there is a difference in selling out and the number of bodies in seats....the upper deck is hardly ever full when it was shown on tv - maybe vs texas it is, but not other games...
if they are adding on visitor side for visiting SEC schools, that makes sense, but saying there will be 100,000+ A&M fans show up is ludicrous...

your dreaming now.... upper decks almost empty?

the only thing you ve stated that make sense is seats filled and tickets sold.....I don't know which games you saw on tv but they did a great job of getting bodies in those seats for games that started at 11:00.

[Saggy Aggie]

Once again, maybe you should think before you talk.

Avg bodies in the seats was 87,200, about 4500 more than capacity.

That's # of tickets checked in to the game. Not sold. Show me pictures of Kyle field in 2011 not full before the first half was over. Lot of people leave after halftime, but the stadium was packed for games that mattered

I have to disagree on this as well. I went to two games this past year, and at both games the stadium was full with temporary seating brought in. One of the games was Idaho, so I think Florida may be bring a few more folks.

Nice try!

You are crazy if you think A&M doesn't pack that place. The only game I've seen not full in the last 10 years was against a 1-AA team. It is always packed and always loud. Being a UT guy doesn't mean you have to make sh*t up just to make A&M look bad. All it does is make you look stupid. Oh and you too Stang Em.

how do they cram 4500 more bodies in there? i have never been to Kyle field.

[buff4ever]

You are either talking about something you know nothing about, or you are just being an arse to be an arse. A&M fills the stadium even for the no bodies. Now there will be better opponents week in and week out during conference than what the big 12 had. IF they build it, they will come.

[Maroon87]

I think the stadium is fine. It's the team that needs work.

[Matthew328]

temp bleachers I think

[NastySlot]

that's my understanding that many of the facilities-concessions and rr aren't to up to date. Plus they wouldn't be expanding if there was an interest in people wanting tix.

[BEAST]

At Aggie home games nobody sits down. Everybody stands the whole game. Easy to pack folks in.

really some truth to this or at least at one time. if you ever see a pic you can sometimes notice the crowd on the student side looks packed tight and former student side a little more spaced. At one time because of the standing done on the student side the spaces for seats were more narrow than the opposite side.

[ExScoop]

Couldn't care less if they do add more seats and have the biggest stadium in the US
Haven't been to Kyle Field since 1987 for a high school playoff game. Would never go there again
Only went there twice to see the Longhorns play the Aggies and then was in 1977
I now have trouble dealing with big crowds because of an anxiety problem

[Emerson1]

You're a dumbass jason.

That said, a&m started the season around #9 right? Combined with being the last season in the Big 12 attendance was going to rise. You are just being a delusional aggie if you think after a couple of 6-7 win seasons in the SEC that they will be able to fill a 115,000 seat stadium on a consistent basis. I'm sure if this stadium opened up next season they would for these first few seasons in the SEC. Up until this season they had never sold out of all sports passes and up until a few years ago they were lucky to sell out more then one game a year. Don't even try and say that 2011 has been the norm the last decade.

[OldBison75]

Kyle Field is one of the toughest places for a college visitor team to play because the crowd is always huge and loud. I can honestly say that there have been times when a game was not a sellout in the past, but it is sold out to include field side seating alot also. AND, getting a student ticket is nearly impossible any home game if you aren't really lucky. The system they use for student tickets pretty much means you better have a student sports pass or you ain't going.

The stadium needs upgrading of the restroom and concession facilities, and parts of the stadium are over 50 years old. You can only stack more concrete on top if you strengthen what base you have. They are even talking about maybe building a new facility instead of upgrading. Lots of Ags are not for a new stadium. However, if that is the route they choose, I bet they get more alumni donations than just about any other school could get.

[Emerson1]

Eh, last year was the first time they sold out of sports passes. I sat in the student section for '10 Tech game. The only game last year that my friend couldn't have gotten me a ticket was the Texas game.

You stand sideways. Literally. no one said a&m will sell out 115k consistently, BUT if a&m does get a stadium like they are talking about, the hope is that the trickle down effect would lead to better recruits, better success and ultimately sellouts.

[orange machine]

I say go for it add a 4th deck to the east and west side. If anything they will have one tall freaking stadium.

There is also wanting to out do Texas' stadium.

Now that's funny and very true never thought of it like that, but it does look like an open tackle box.

[Txbroadcaster]

Kyle Field is one of the toughest places for a college visitor team to play because the crowd is always huge and loud. .

A&M at Kyle Field's record is 174-148-19 ...53%...good, but not great...they had a great run in the 90's when they were like 55-4 at one point, but outside that they have been very average at home


think of it like this..Texas has an 80% win record at home.

[3afan]

Jason isn't making it up -- it appears on TV that the upper corners of the upper deck(s) are not near full .... and Nasty he didnt say 'almost empty', he said 'hardly ever full' :)

but I'm sure the attendance figures are good too - most teams/stadiums that constantly sell out list more than their capacity

expanding makes sense, the SEC foes are known for traveling, esp compared to KU, KState, IASt, BU, TT in the B12

except for the rivalry with UT I think the move to the SEC is great for aTm ... I also think they'll be middle of the pack in most sports for now, unfortunately

[Rabid Cougar]

Most SEC stadiums are dumps with mulitple upgrades through their years of existance. DKR is no different. You want to see a VERY nice Stadium with top notch facilities, albeit not SEC of Big 12, UNT's Apogee Stadium.

[Emerson1]

That's because it's brand new...

[Rabid Cougar]

That's because it's brand new...

:):):):)

[navscanmaster]

IIRC, the 115k is if they build a south end zone like the North existing one. If you look at it from an aesthetically pleasing point of view, it won't happen like that. Nor will a season in Reliant during a rebuild. I would hope they follow the popular plan and do a west side rebuild one year, an east side rebuild the next year, and close in the south end zone either first or last. There have been only conceptual renderings at this point. When they actually approve a master plan, you will see some final plans. With the rebuilds comes a new facade, a likely tear-down of G. Rollie White and Netum Steed, and lots and lots of suited wrapping the entire stadium. T&P for the bats and swaying press box.

[1st and goal]

why would you have to zoom in? I thought it was obvious that they couldn't fill a stadium?

[pancho villa]

I went to a few games this year and they pack the people in. The seats are to small on the lowest deck. That said, Kyle Stadium was full and there were 50,000 in the park across the street that just stayed outside the stadium and tailgated.

[Old Tiger]

Obviously his eyes are untrained. Good thing I have a well trained eye for this kinda stuff and it is not full.

[Emerson1]

2009 and 2008 they averaged under 73,000 fans...

so do you think those figures represent bodies in seats or tickets sold....cause just looking at records 08 figures show an average of 82,129....but that might be tickets sold. Also those figures aren't to bad for a team that finished 4-8 on the year.

also do you really think when building a stadium they care about bodies in seats or tickets sold....im thinking since it's a business it's probably money made from sales.



imo there is only a few schools that can boast about bodies in seats matching tickets sold...Nebraska comes to mind, Notre Dame another....maybe Michigan.

Where are you seeing that they sold 82,129 per game in 2008?

If you notice, the people on here who ACTUALLY went to a&m haven't really ever used any of those moronic terms.

[ExScoop]

The cost of tickets will skyrocket and some fans will stop going. It will also cost more to drive long distances with the high price of gasoline. I figure it would cost me over $200 for two tickets if not more, gasoline and food to attend a game with me driving from Hungerford. I went to my last UT football game 5 years ago against Texas Tech. Now me and my wife don't have jobs and cant' afford to go to any kind of pro or college games.

Honestly if i were the ags I would wait 5 years before i do any add ons i mean, nothing is set in stone, theyre just talking about it.

you act like you never heard the phrase tu lol bet you never been to College Station

[RoyceTTU]

I think this has WAY more to do with the ability to create revenue than filling the stands. Having more seats allows the school to sell more tickets. Because more tickets are sold there is a higher percentage of seats that will be filled by a body. It is not uncommon for NCAA school to sell every ticket, and not have 100% turnout.

A&M is selling out everygame, which means a missed opportunity of revenue. They have to increase capacity to sell more tickets.

[pancho villa]

I say "If you build it they will come" and nobody with any cajonies cares about tu!

[StangEm]

you act like you never heard the phrase tu lol bet you never been to College Station

I've heard the phrase. I've always thought it to be, dare I say, childish. Really makes no sense in my opinion. I guess it make you feel better inside to create a name for a university that in many accounts is widening the gap in success and popularity in so many ways.

I agree, go to College Station. You'll hear it plenty. That obsession with Texas is probably why A&M is lagging behind and is the little brother.

Its people like me who are more concerned with my own school that will take this university to where we want it to be. If i wanted to talk about "tu," I would've went to school in Austin.

Yes I know was using that as a example pay attention. A whorn is a slang term some aggies uses (mostly on texags) that I find a little offensive. Texas University implys yall aren't the only Univ in Texas , big difference.

[Lion70]

I agree with you I like the idea of tu because of the reasoning behind it. Its kinda like the Aggies that find it a successful season if they beat texas even if its their only win. A national Title Vs a win over your arch rival , hmmm tough one lol.

I think this has WAY more to do with the ability to create revenue than filling the stands. Having more seats allows the school to sell more tickets. Because more tickets are sold there is a higher percentage of seats that will be filled by a body. It is not uncommon for NCAA school to sell every ticket, and not have 100% turnout.

A&M is selling out everygame, which means a missed opportunity of revenue. They have to increase capacity to sell more tickets.

Not sure why your deflecting to Tech,,,because I'm not. I'm actually praising the decision and finacially it makes perfect sense to do what they are doing. You lack of maturity is the one deflecting from the OP. I post on A&M and UT threads because I know about college football and can handle a cival conversation. It is obvious to me and others that you are not capable of doing the same.

No biggie to me though, you can continue to make yourself look worse in the eyes of many posters here. I'm sure your gaining much respect.

Carry on!!!

Carry on!!! ooh like I care lol tech was brought cause your a fan and you were talking about how henderson/carthage was a better topic than than the current Aggie thread

Intersting your basing your arguement on how I diverted the conversation to Henderson/Carthage as being off topic, but 95% of every post you've made has had nothing to do with the OP. My point was you've derailed the conversation so far off that is is no longer being about the OP and at that point, yes, Henderson/Carthage is probably more interesting.

Carthage owns Henderson!!!

Yeah I'm fake. Mainly because I don't have a giant case of penis envy like most Aggies.

Instead I'd rather better myself and my school independently rather than comparing myself and trying to be as good as 'tu' my whole life.

If being a real aggie is about wishing I was as good as Texas, then maybe I should've gone to a different school.

There's a lot of really smart people at a&m but this school breeds a lot of jackasses too

I'm as supportive as anyone towards my school, I just don't go around yelling btho outta tu and saw em off everyday.

[Txbroadcaster]

Now we have Aggie on Aggie crime

[MGAR]

That's weak.. But are you slow minded?

Wasn't saying Henderson was the land of the hillbilly... Carthage first posted that they own Henderson.

[MGAR]

Now we have Aggie on Aggie crime

That's how they are funding the expansion.

I just hope its girl on girl instead of boy on boy.

It is a sad day when I have to agree with this clown. WTH does any of that 4 pages of response have to do with anything about renovations at Kyle? Saggy.....you already know you are severely outnumbered by sip wannabes on this board, and I have gotten to the point where if I want to say tu, I will just say it. Giving them the pleasure of saying it properly and following the rules while we get called stupid, aggy, delusional, and anything else they can come up with without reprocussions has made me not give two craps about it. Your traditions are what they are, so get used to being a 2%er if you try to take the high road with an entitled fan base that would kick you down the hill anyhow.

[Saggy Aggie]

If me just refusing to be obsessed with Texas makes me a 2%er then whatever. I support my school as much as anyone, I just do it without having a hard on for 'tu'...

As far as these other guys referring to us as aggy or whatever, I just really dgaf. I don't even bother replying usually. I don't have to resort to lame name calling and play on words to look cool. I go to school. I'm getting a great education at a top notch university and I support 99% of our traditions and take part in all of them, I just refuse to be one of the ones who lives and dies by being as good as Texas.

Like I said, if I wanted to go there, I would've. I got accepted. I just chose a&m over a bunch of schools because that's where I want to be. I just look past the people I disagree with.

[navscanmaster]

I never said it had to be an obsession thing. You just make an Aggie tradition that will never die sound like an obsession and fuel the fire from the other side. I actually will call them Texas outside of the state, and always hold their academics in high regard. But athletically speaking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the tradition of calling them t.u. They are still a rival, even while we don't meet on the playing fields for now, we still compete for fans, recruits, and public perception. Again, if t.u. or aggy actually truly offends anyone, then priorities in life need to be adjusted. As it pertains to 3adownlow, it used to be a quick way to end college talk threads, but it appears the rules have relaxed.

I agree and why don't they just two different pages so you can talk about both easy answer just saying....

I see absolutely nothing wrong with saw em off, tu, aggy, faggy or whatever if it's the week of a big game. To me that's part of rivalry and a lot of the fun.

I just don't understand the year long saw em off tu aggy guys. There are guys like me and you can play respectfully and know when and where to use the other terms, but we both know there are plenty who live and die by trying to prove they're as good as Texas and will bring up the longhorns any chance they get. To me, that's where it goes from rivalry to obsession and that's where I draw the line.
