My son is a junior in HS and is very interested in potentially attending A&M, we would like to visit the campus this fall and of course attend a game. Is there a section in Kyle Field that is better than others? Our next challenge will be finding tickets!

So you are looking for tickets to resell to the public in the best section?

Anything closer to the West side so you can be in the shade.

Try sections 124-127
That will put him on the student side where former students also have access to seats. It will give him the closest thing to the student section as possible

How are his ankles? Does he eat subway? Hair style?

These are all key factors in getting to best potential feedback

South end zone middle section has a great view and very easy access to concessions.

Do it, got a Junior in Engineering at A&M. And at least one more engineer coming. Possible a 3rd but admittely my youngest wont be seeing any classes in Zachery.

My daughter struggled at 1st but found her place at Aggieland after Year 1. The school will eat you up academically if they aren't prepared with very good study habits. Good luck and we all hope you guys enjoy Kyle Field and add to the family.

Guy with a kid who potentially wants to attend A&M ask a legitimate question but gotta have folks make what they think is a cool smart A answer.

I forgot when we had a dildo parade. But to answer the OP, I also prefer South Zone middle. Not up top if I can help it, too sunny and I was there for the 5 hr affair w Tennessee and I'm still sunburnt.

EXACTLY!!!! If I were to ask this question and receive these smart ass answers I would tell my son to look at another school. This dad, if he had any sense, should have already done so!

Sir, I apologize for all the immature childish answers you are receiving. If you want football tickets check out the Ticket Exchange at the bottom of the forum listing, that should help you. Game tickets during the summer heat are best sought on the west side.

Did you score a ticket? I took my daughter and we sat in a section from the ones I mentioned previously. I posted a pic from that game which I believe was in 2008. Against LA Monroe?

Either way, she's now graduating from A&M soon. She was all of about 5 years old at the time. I really hope your son goes to A&M. The Aggie network, post-graduation is second to none. Best of luck to him

Thank you all for the helpful answers, apologies if I came across as ignorant we don't live in a state that has major college football so this is new to us, we have family in Houston which is one of the reasons he wants to look at A&M among many others, just looking to show him the campus and environment the best way I can within our budget.

I second this….it can't be stated enough.

Both of my kids graduated with engineering degrees and I couldn't be prouder.

No apology is necessary bud…there are too many a holes (mostly harmless) here but it goes with the territory.

Good luck and Gig Em!!

Just remember that viewing the game as a prospective student from the west side of the stadium is like visiting Houston on a cool, crisp November day: false advertising. He'll be third deck east side when he's a freshman.

Also, the campus tour is pretty subpar after having gone through it a couple times in the previous few years (and having also graduated from A&M). With a gigantic campus it's sort of difficult to get much out of it. Other schools do a much better job IMO. If you want a tour of a specific college, though, contact the Texas A&M Foundation and find one of their development coordinators:

Texas A&M Foundation

They gave my son a tour of the engineering building a few years ago. You might get hit up for donations, but a small price to pay for a smaller tour. I think each college gives tours as well so check the admissions website. More than you wanted from your original post but might as well make the most of a visit.

jfc, lighten up guys. A decade old inside joke + other playful responses and your knee jerk reaction would to tell your son not go to TAMU, man the f up. Bunch of f'in Nancy's

OP - get tickets on the student side if you want the exp of culture at 110% but will be hot and be prepared to stand all game or people will call you out, which is worse than our stupid inside jokes here. albeit the call outs are not malicious either.

Other wise, don't sit on the southside, go northside or west side for view of screen and entrance

in sections 125-127 you can't really see the students all though you can hear them

I think section 133 or 134 above row 30 (shade) he can see and hear the students in action.

And go to a Sec game. I'd pick South Carolina or FL

If you can get an aisle seat in 125 next to 124, that will get you next to the Aggie Band.

If you can get an aisle seat in 126 next to 127, that will get you next to the general student population.

These will be in the sun on early games.

you would tell your son to not go here because of anonymous comment made on a message board really/?

Good luck getting in.........depending on the college applying, if you were from a foreign country, it would be easier than being Salutatorian.

TexAgs Ticket exchange should get you better value than sub hub because you save on electronic. As always with ticketed events beware of scammers… they are rampant. Follow the suggestions in the ticket exchange forum for vetting any seller and if the exchange feels off… back out and keep looking.
