Asking people to complain about A&M?

The jokes write themselves

Standing for the band at half time (back when I was a student).

Boobs...lots of boobs

The answer is "getting beat by mediocre SEC teams." If that is "bashing" than so be it.

Come on. Think of all the Heisman campaign launches you've been able to witness at Kyle.

Worst for entire experience, stated above: 2 night minimum on hotels

Game: game attendees - they walk or worse stand in front of you during plays, looking for seats or going for concessions, don't pay attention and then spout stupid complaints about the football

Easiest thing to fix: also stated above, keep the game stats up more

Come on OP, this is like the Adam Sandler's "Sex or Weightlifting."

How is it that you people always mess up "than" and "then"?

The Stella (opening in March, 4* hotel in the Atlas Town Center) will not require a 2 night minimum next season.

Sounds like you don't attend the games. This is a thread about attending games.

I go to one or two games a year, but mostly watch games at home for the reasons listed.

The stupid music we play before 3d down on defense now....and the fact that it plays at 135dB until the snap count. Absolutely kills any ability for the fans to get into a critical defensive play (I know, some will say it wouldn't matter but it DOES).

Not being able to hear the band. And our seats are right next to the student section on the 5 yard line.

Length of games has to be fixed. I'm the biggest advocate of college football over NFL football, but Sundays are such a breath of fresh air when games are three hours on the dot. That's one thing the NFL does right.

I drove from Fort Worth for the Tennessee game. Great game, had fun, but good grief. After sitting in the heat for 5+ hours, I'm done with the day trips. And with the aforementioned 2-night hotel minimum, I've never been one for overnight trips. I'm a college football fanatic, so I'll sit at home and watch on TV, and not miss the other great games of the day while driving home.



I know, lolold, lolfat, etc. At least I yell when I go to games, though.

There's so much I love about the Aggie football game day experience - it's why I go.

That said, yeah, the 2 night minimum thing, along with the prices charged by the motels, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I can afford it. i just don't like paying $800 or more for your basic chain motor lodge lodging.

At the stadium, I'm ready for the escalators to get fixed (NW Corner). Somebody is going to get hurt there unless they become somewhat reliable.

LOL - going to a game?

Muzzle the PA announcer
Remove the ribbon boards
Never introduce another soul before or during the game
Keep Will Johnson off the big screen with highlights of games that ended 3 hours ago or on Thursday
Let the band play
Let the yell boys lead some yells
Fire Levy and get local vendors
Issue one parking permit (other than handicapped or special situations) and make it first come, first served

well chace Murphy resigned today....

This!

Coming down by halftime if you're not in the legends or zone club.

The absolute worst thing is having to drink Pepsi products. Pepsi products are the root cause for most other problems. If you're drinking a coke, you're more energized and the carbonated perfection does wonders on the vocal cords which allows us to yell at decibels not achievable with Pepsi. Since you're more energized on coke you're standing more during the game and you don't care about your seat size. The yelling and standing will generate more victories and a better game atmosphere.

Relish container for my Aggie Dog needs to be refreshed more frequently.

New uncomfortable MSC Basement chairs need to be replaced.

Less cops with speed radar on way home.

Not enough statues of RC and Johnny.

Day games on hot as F days.
No beer.
mediocre over-priced food & drink.

We need some of these...

No morning games ever. No afternoon games before October 15th.

On field presentations

Invite anyone involved in creating the game day experience in Aggieland to an Alabama Football game. The sound system is loud as hell, the video's on the video board are intimidating, The announcers know how to pump up the volume, and they use every second legally aloud to make noise before the ball is snapped.

Alabama has the game day experience down pat!

I think gameday is awesome @ Kyle....

I'm also stoked no one made a stupid ass chicken wrap joke....

Great thread all around

Seats are less comfortable than my couch
View is worse than on my tv
Weather is worse than in my living room
Parking is further away than my driveway
Tickets are more expensive than my cable bill

This guy pretty much nailed it, but I would add putting up with obnoxious fans.

People that know nothing about football yelling idiotic "suggestions" at the coach. They embarrass themselves as well as anybody who has to listen to their garbage.

Still have ice cream delivery men instead of good looking cheerleaders.

I think this is an issue for the entire sport of football in general and not just Aggie games. The commercialization has driven game to be 4+ hours due to all the commercial breaks. It might not happen anytime soon, but if they keep adding dead time to the games in the interest of making money on the tv audience I have to believe game attendance will go way down. Heck, we are already seeing it in the NFL since the fans don't normally have the same loyalty as college football fans do to their alma mater.
