I live near Benchley and when I was driving in this morning I saw red sky and green sky and white sky. I was near 6 and 21 before I realized it was the scoreboard running the color patterns. It was quite bright with the low clouds. I was just curious if the lights have bothered anybody that lives close?

I enjoy having my own personal aurora borealis in the evening...

They are trying to communicate with aliens like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

One of the many perks of living in Aggieland.

Lights flashing in the sky is a perk?

Yup. Especially when they're lights from the new Kyle Field!

I live about a mile from it (basically the closest housing to it that's off campus), in the direction it faces (I can directly see part of the sign). Doesn't bother me at all, and I think it's cool.

It can't be inexpensive to leave it running for days.

They're stress testing it and getting it ready for its purpose - this is extremely common.

They've been doing a burn-in for a few days.

I was driving in from Fort Worth and could see the different colored lights from Hearne. It was pretty impressive.

For miles around, Kyle Field is a shining beacon on a hill.

I live just past the bend at Nagle and Foch, and it freaks me out when I'm driving, walking, biking, or hanging out in my backyard. All of a sudden the whole sky is green?! A sickly red?! It's so gratuitous. Here's to hoping it's a test and doesn't continue eeeevery night.

Like another poster said - they are burning in the screen. We received an email at the PD notifying us, just in case there were calls or questions.

Turn off those damn lights and stay off my lawn!...

Sorry. Just moved back to B/CS after two years in Houston. Love the local complaints and concerns.

Does anyone have any pictures of how pretty it makes the night sky look? I see the colors when I'm out running early in the morning, but couldn't get anything decent with my phone.

Ok, that one is a little scary...I imagine when it cycled to green, you thought the aliens were landing?
