Put fiber at ever seat, pump in sooo much noise we never have to yell, rip out seats and replace with recliners, retractable roof, replace the band with an 80's cover band at half time, female cheerleaders,

One of our ideas in this project is moving ticket pull completely online. What are your thoughts on doing so, and what are some pros/cons that you see?
I honestly thought this was the dumbest idea I have heard until I read the next question...

At this point I had to question the validity of this survey. Honestly thought the next question was going to be about a Lazy River.

Was at the AR game at Jerry World. It's not any way close to a true college atmosphere, but we were next to the students and corps, it was great. It's also infectious. Even my reserved daughter was on her feet at parts of the game and ACTUALLY put her phone down.
Nobody cares. Work Harder

Bring back Coke products and replace our food provider. When they ran out of ice and soda cups during the Auburn game, that was the final straw for me.

Move Spirit back to when the stadium is full and the teams are on the field.

Unfortunately, the NCAA killed that by the limits on roster size. Reason number 1,438,432 why the NCAA needs to disappear.

- Have ONE coordinator/producer to plan and cue the dj/band/yell leaders/etc. so they don't overrun each other.
- Sell Dr. Pepper
- Install awnings above endzone seating and close in the gaps in corners. The stadium would be so much louder.
- Re-organize the traffic flow coming out of games. The current one is counter-productive.
- Have in stands hot dog/beer vendors.

NO DJ!!!!!

Serious question. What's the point of the in-person ticket pull? It just seems like an unnecessary pain in the butt.

Other than ditch the DJ, my peeve is pregame timing. The FTAB never gets to play the whole War Hymn. The *$^*(*&%$$ DJ plays over the beginning of the War Hymn and the band never gets to finish it.

It shouldn't be that hard to time the events and start them far enough ahead of kickoff to get it all in, but they can't seem to pull that off.

Camping out on campus a week in advance before games is a unique way to build excitement all week for both the players and students. It's definitely an unnecessary pain in the butt but it's very unique and provides some great memories of the young/dumb/energetic college days.

"The DJ" is literally the worst thing to ever happen to the Aggie Gameday experience.

Kyle Field was once the loudest stadium in all of Football (look up Brett Favre's quote about when he played here).

Since the addition of the DJ, our Yell Leaders and 12th Man have become completely nullified, and we have become an absolutely pathetic shell of our once famous Kyle-Field advantage.

GET RID OF THE GOD-FORSAKEN DJ.

And Gig 'em.

My kid is a sophomore this year and had some pretty crazy schedules her first two years. Luckily she had some upperclassmen in her friend group that could occasionally pull for her. But camping out for tickets just isn't really her thing.

The DJ makes it miserable

I agree. It wasn't my thing either. So I just had others pull for me like you daughter, or just pulled whenever I had time later in the week and dealt with the semi worse tickets.

Let the dance team perform during TV time outs. Might spice up the TV time out dead space.

Female dance team / female cheerleaders..

One set in the stands doing their stuff, and another set on the field doing their stuff. Tv Cameras would cover them both. Whoever decides yearly against an Aggie women bloc in the bleachers and an Aggie women squad on the sidelines gets a F-grade on PR, Recruiting, and Common Sense. Person should be tarred & feathered, no offense. Nobody hurts our school more.

Also only allowing the band to dress in those typical brown scout-clothes would help the nation know the whole school is not cadets which is currently the perception and why I don't mention I went to A&M unless good reason.

1. Get rid of dj and piped in noises.
2. Stop trying to emulate other fake atmospheres that are really dead; Kyle is alive.
3. Bring back timing of when we sing Spirit of Aggieland to just before kick-off; nothing better than that to let everyone know they're in Kyle Field.
4. Get rid of dj and piped in noises.

Students and players love the dj. They play music we listen to daily and love. The only people who really matter when determining the atmosphere is the players and the student section. Everyone has a dj, it's just how it is now. If the students love it and the players, that's all that matters

Do I think we cut down on it a little bit, yes. But no dj would kill the vibe of the players and students

They already play, and the fans already yell.

From where I sit, even the adults love the DJ. The amount of grown men and women dancing and jumping to the music is unbelievable. Even see some old guys in wheelchairs bobbing their heads. The DJ definitely adds to the atmosphere.

Marching bands are going to be extinct in 20 years. They take up valuable seat space, no one really pays attention to them anyway, and most don't travel. The halftime shows are a the equivalent of a local band playing a wedding, it's background music but nobody really cares if they're their or not. Sad, and not what an old fart like me would prefer, but unfortunately true in my opinion.

That's like saying sex with real women is going to be dead in 20 years.

Take that sheet somewhere else.

Tradition is what makes Aggieland a special place and gameday experience.
