OT: Kyle Field Expanding to 102,500 Capacity
Texas A&M is adding about 20,000 seats to become the third largest stadium in college football, trailing only Michigan and Penn State. Kyle Field is already known for being extremely loud, so Texas A&M has a very good chance to have the best home field advantage in college football. Its been a good year for them: Moving to the SEC, beating Alabama, Heisman winning QB, now this. They also have a great recruiting class coming in. Texas can't be too happy right now.

That doesn't make any sense at all. You could be second, third, fourth...hell, you could even be fifth!
This exchange saddens me. I've been holding on to the "WE're #2!!!!" thing since April 8th! Guess I should drop it. sad face.
I just wanted to commend you on your use of a Gravity Falls avatar. Why you ackin' so cray-cray?
I was HIGH when I said that
The NASCAR/SEC corollary is "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'".
What about all of those participation trophies I have won? Don't those mean anything?
we're talking defense contract level seating. Maybe they are made of carbon fiber and lightweight alloy, and have an ejection feature for quicker exit at the end of the game.
Johnny Manziel only steps foot in College Station on gamedays. The rest of the week he practices and takes classes from his Corperate building.
That A&M and their corperate focus.
Gig em indeed.
he meant copulate building?
TAMU has their name with that Texas drawl ... "Eeaae-un-eeyum".
I live and work in Houston and there are so many Aggies surrounding me, right now. They are the Sparty of Texas.
My son got his Phd in Nuclear Chemistry from A&M. He chose them because they have their own cyclotron.
Bizzaro world? You mean like when a school in the middle of the state has such vitriol for a school "up north". Whereas the school up north considers Ohio to be their rival? Yeah who could ever think of such a situation.
Why would Texas be mad? They already have plans to expand to a 112,000 seat stadium, so when they do A&M will be the 4th largest.
Texas A&M has had a super successful year, they are on a huge upswing, and they recenlty bailed the Big XII. In the meantime, Texas has had a few down years. Texas is probably mad due to all of A&M's recent success under the current circumstances, not just the plans to build a bigger stadium.
I always wondered how that game woulda gone had McCoy not been knocked out in the first series.
I just mean Texas A&M having a successful year in general and Texas being down for a couple years. Texas A&M is to Texas as MSU is to us so Texas fans, I would think, are annoyed by all the hype A&M has recently been receiving.
Mack Brown may be dragging down the program, but once he's gone they will go back to being Texas again because no matter what A&M does, UT still recruits better.
If Michigan State jumped to a better conference and didn't even get to play in a BCS bowl during one of the programs best seasons, I think it would be pretty funny. I wouldn't be mad.
And if a Michigan State player won the Heisman, had a different player drafted #2 overall, built a stadium bigger than ours, got more national attention than us and recruited better than us? You wouldn't be upset about that?
Michigan State had a few of those things before. They won the Rose Bowl, Tony Mandarich was drafted 2nd overall and then they went back to being irrelevant.
No program stays down forever, eventually small programs make a run and then go away. It's the landscape of college football.
Michigan's program was a dog in the 50's and 60's, Michigan State was the national champion six times. Eventually things went back to the way they had been before.
Best not to put it on the student section side.
nothing to see here
They must not have fraternities in Texas.
Holy shit people are far away from the field in that stadium
row 94 in Michigan Stadium is right on top of the field.
Maybe you haven't noticed how Michigan Stadium is a(n almost) perfect bowl. Not having huge gaps in the stadium makes it easier to locate people closer to the field even when you're the biggest stadium in the country.
I was in College Station this summer before the Michigan game in Texas this year and since the field isn't a bowl or anything it was just open to the public. I walked right in and took pictures right on the field. It definitely looks high from there. Would not want to be a drunk fan in Texas heat walking up the curvey ramps to the upper deck.
