if one were to want to take their engagement and/or bridal pictures in the athletic facilities (Kyle, Reed, Olsen specifically) how does one go about doing that? who is the contact person, any specific policies or rules?

thanks so much!

No such thing as overly Aggie!

Call the Athletic Department and ask. All they can say is no.

The Atletic Department is very good about allowing people onto Kyle Field for things such as engagements & wedding photos. They will entrust you with the key for 24 hours - a pretty cool deal!

You cna have a wedding on any field at aTm except Kyle Field.fact.

not sure on pics.

My cousin tried and settled on Olsen field(was freaking 40 degrees that day and a 25 mph north wind in Feb). SOaB it was cold.

Call 862-2635. This is Sharon Lee's number, and she is the Office Assistant for Facilities. Explain that you are a former student and would like to take engagement/bridal pictures on Kyle and give a date range you'd like to do this. She will take down your information and clear it with Kevin (Asst AD of Facilities) or Billy (AD of Facilities). You should get a call back within a few days with a time and location to come pick up a gate key.

Sounds like a normal February day at Olsen. If it was a Catholic wedding, then you might have duplicated a real game day experience.

maybe overly Aggie, but my fiance and I met at a basketball game, and much of our courtship has centered around athletics... football games and baseball games in particular. first date was a baseball game, Freebirds on Northgate, then basketball game, then celebrating wins at Northgate. I also want pics on Northgate. so these facilities hold sentimental memories.

thanks so much everyone!!!

Photographers can put your photo with a digital enhancement of certain places like Kyle Field and Olsen. I had this done with my kids photos. Darren at Studio One did this a couple of years ago. It looked really nice.

my wife had bridal pics taken at Kyle Field and the association of former students...winding stair case

the Association is no longer allowing bridals... I know that much. it's okay by me, I don't have a ginormous train, which the staircases show off to the fullest extent.

Fly's got the right info. That's who you need to talk to. Billy is the epitome of an "Old Ag" -- he's as old as Kyle Field, and I'm not kidding -- and will let you get away with just about anything if you ask nicely enough.

Although... if you're lucky enough to meet him, he's "Mr. Pickard" to his face!!!

I know that Captured Moments Photography has done bridal pictures on Kyle Field. You should give Cindy Kovar a call 979-694-2110.

Many photographers in town have done the pics there. Darrin (Studio One) was my photographer the first time I got married. He's the reason I know who to call and what to say to gain access to facilities. They don't make the arrangements, you do.

Are you going to have pics taken at the TexAgs offices?

good idea, but no.

The former Student's Building actually no longer had the staircase. They changed it with the remodeling.
