Yeah, but that was before the "inadvertent whistle incident"...

My view. And yes completely agree. Sad.

It's probably going to be for nobodies. Conference not so much. We can't charge more than bama when we haven't earned it. The prices will have to be Lower for some of the games. They have to realize that.

HALF FULL

We're just fortunate to have a stadium.

Sad to see Kyle Field empty during an Aggie game. Goodness !

There was a ton of people standing under the overhang in the zone.

As nice as the concourses, cool zones and clubs are now I wonder if they'll drain people from the stands

Sorry it was miserable in the heat. For some it presented a safety issue. Women and children aren't going to brave the heat.

102,591 of 102,733 (99.86%) seats sold.

Folks showing up on time, or showing up at all, or leaving early is another matter, but ticket sales is not a problem.

I'm now wondering just how many people caught onto my sarcasm with the OP? The point is... The stadium was plenty full in the early on

Home of the 7th man!

No one caught the sarcasm.

It looked great on TV, considering it was 11:00 am and 95ish* and f%$*ing non-conference.

Hell during the Sherman years, every game was an 11AM kickoff. Plenty gone by halftime too because we got our ass kicked.

and picks of the first quarter?

thanks

The concourses and clubs had 70,000 people watching the game from there by the second quarter.

It would have killed you if you had ever attended a game when the old horseshoe was completely empty.

Does not apply in my family.

Just to be clear- everyone in here complaining about the empty seats was actually at the game, correct? If not, stfu

Sorry kk lite, but it only looked that way from your vantage point. The NEZ pretty much looked like the picture posted after yours through the entire game. The patches of empty on the student and alumni side were that way through the entire first half as well. Maybe the sun in your face blinded you to the fact that there was more maroon from the seats than from the people.

Also, how did 91 degrees in Texas all of the sudden become some crazy temperature? Am I the only one that actually goes outside in Texas during the day? Wear appropriate clothing. Drink water. Use sunscreen.

Lastly, why are people so offended by others being disappointed in the turnout? I get some of the reasons some people did not show up. (We don't bring our daughter to games yet because we know she is not ready to deal with the weather or the noise or the length of the event. She's only 2.) I also did not expect people to do much better than they did. I even told my wife as much before we left to make the trip. I was still disappointed though. My wife was actually a little happy about the turnout because she got to stand the whole game. She hates sitting for Aggie games.

You guys love giving other schools all the ammo they need to bag on us.
This is a non issue. Look at any other school that has an 11AM kickoff in 97 degree heat against a team like Nevada. I promise you it is not packed from start to finish. Heck the bama fans left early against ole miss.
Take this off of the open forum. Next we will see this picture all over the internet talking about how we can't fill our new 100k stadium.

ALL SEPT GAMES SHOULD BE AT NIGHT.




THIS IS NOT HARD.

Kyle field was so empty...by the middle of the 4th quarter.

Aggies (current and former students) used to stay the entire game, win or lose to support the team.

I have never seen Kyle that empty. At the very least folks should have been interested to see Kyler Murray get some P/T, not to mention just being there to be, you know, the 12th Man in support of the team. Not that the 12th Man was some kind of unique cool tradition that used to set A&M apart. It <was> part of the identity and uniqueness of the Aggie spirit, but it won't be if this continues.

Times have changed I guess. Sad day in Aggieland. Embarrassing for all of us.

I remember one of the commentators noticing people leaving last year during the Ole Miss game, and he was legitimately surprised-because it went against the reputation of the 12th Man never quitting.

I think alot of people don't realize the uniqueness we had at A&M. Live out of state for a while-some johnny come lately school will put down blue turf and think they have something special. We are losing one of the coolest long standing traditions in all of college football and personally that is really disappointing to me. I guess it's inevitable with so many alumni that everything will just get watered down to where we are like every other school? Bandwagon fans who get all excited when we win, but don't stay in support when we fall behind, or it gets hot, is that what we want. Or maybe it was just hot and everyone had a medical condition

Tickets to these games have become too expensive for a lot of people. Even the tickets for the students have become absurd.

This is laughable... The stands are always emptying out before the final whistle against a non conference opponent, during the september "heat stroke" games. Heck the first one that comes to mind was the Fresno St. game in I believe 2005 or 2006. A few will remember seeing the 12th man walk from side to side on the top two decks during overtime to yell because the stands were so empty. Yes, you can sit here and say "well back in my day that never happened" but we all know that is not true. It has always happened, as far back as 1985. I know I know... anything after 1985 is New Army and they've been going to hell since 1938.

Why build this stadium when you couldn't even fill up the old one!!'???

We have the #14 team in the nation and they still can't get a full stadium. Hate to see what happens when franchione comes back!!

We built our stadium to accommodate growth. Quit your *****en and wipe that sad face off.

More olds left than us.. personally, I stood the entire game. But if anyone should be embarrassed its the alumni. You don't even have to stand but you still leave early. Shame.

We should probably do a $200mm renovation to downsize. We obviously don't have the fan base for this bigger stadium. See Baylor for example

Lots of trolling going on in here. Meanwhile ticket sales are looking great
