1966 $4 per ticket per game. 20 yard line seats average attendance 20,000 per game (I am guessing)
We lived in Teague when I was little in the mid 60's. Did you know Joel Hunt? He used to give me free ice cream at the pool.MidTnAg said:
When I was in high school in the late 1950s, I dug weeds out of our Teague HS football field for a dollar an hour.
When I entered Texas A&M (the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas) in 1960, the minimum wage was still $1 an hour.
I doubt we even had season tickets. if we did, they had to be very very low in price compared to the current prices.
The fabulous Kyle Field was only a one deck U.
By the time I was teaching math, Gene Stallings had been able to get an upper deck built.
Why did I go to Aggieland? I was a double legacy. Both of my parents went to A&M. I was probably the only student in the 60's who make that claim.
I remember when they were $375/season and STILL more expensive than Cowboys season tickets.tomdoss02 said:
I'm wondering whether in 20 years when I make out my $1000 per seat check if I'll look back and say, "I remember when they used to be $375."
Just curious. . .
