Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (Texas Longhorns) only seats 100,119. Try and keep up, Texas.
Nice work Aggies. Between that quarterback of yours and a bigger stadium, I like your future. It doesn’t hurt that you have a few trillion in your endowment fund. Now, Missouri on the other hand… can we annul our contract with them?
Interesting Kyle Field fact: Over 10000 students were there last week for a Bible Study. That’s 20% of enrollment.

Love the expansion. I remember being in the Freshman seat bleachers in the south end zone before the eastern 3rd deck was completed. I home to take the kids to a game real soon so they can experience the true energy of Kyle Field!
NICE!
I LOVE ATM
