Did anyone out there manage to obtain a chunk of concrete from the original, first deck section of Kyle Field after the recent demolition (or from the first deck east side the year before, or the old horseshoe before the Zone)? If so I'd be interested in buying a small piece and I bet others would also.
From what I was able to determine at the time, the school planned to dispose of all the concrete from the west side stands demolition. I believe at least part of the first level was from the original 1927 construction, so that concrete had some real history to it. If A&M made no provision for allowing some of that to be saved for sale then I think an opportunity to make some money, plus create treasured mementos, was wasted.
My daughter and I managed to grab a small handful of grass clippings from the field after the Miss St game in 2013, but that's not the same as having an 80+ year old chunk from the original stadium.
