The extra underhang of the ribbon board should provide another 10 minutes of shade.

I originally wanted "Welcome to Aggieland - Home of The 12th Man" to all be together on the student side. After seeing the photos over the last few days with just "Home of the 12th Man" on the student side I actually like it that way. I think it would have been way to crowded and cluttered looking to put that all together now. It has a much cleaner look the way it is now. The white on maroon looks awesome too, shows up so much better than before. It will even look better when all the students are in their maroon shirts too.

The only thing I'd like to see is all the past SWC Championships and the Big 12 Champs from 98 listed somewhere...

We've come a long way from playing ball on Kyle's farmland.

The rest of the updates look good.

The endzones aren't an update, they are always painted either way, the question is with what... I still vote for

They are, directly on Wellborn, right where everyone from the tunnel under Wellborn comes out and sees the stadium. Its a great place IMO. Maybe not AS visible as in the stadium, but they are up on the stadium.

Visit a few threads.

The endzones are showing dotted lines for "Texas A&M" - are you saying they wont use that layout even though its there?

Had to go over today and see all the changes and they do look even better in person.

Didn't like the idea of moving "Home of the 12th Man" up a deck, but now that I see it, I think it will have even more prominence.

When TV shoots a wide shot of the entire East side, it will look awesome and the "Home of the 12th Man" will really stand-out and have perfect placement.

I love it! I also think Texas A&M in the endzone is a better identifier on National TV.

Looking good. Now if they could just pressure wash the Hell out of the concrete on Kyle Field the transformation would be complete.

Will they put the maroon border on the facing West Side stands? Seems like it'll look uneven if they don't do some sort of similar maroon border/white lettering on the alumni side...

Absolutely love the white on maroon. I was skeptical at first, but I've definitely come around.

The pics are great! Thank you. Our scoreboard looks soooo much better than that giant billboard at Advertisment Memorial Stadium. We can be very proud of what the AD is doing.

Very good pics. The "Home of the 12th Man" really stands out a lot better. Kyle Field looks good and ready to go!!

Yep, "home of The 12th Man" does stand out. Those scumbags in Seattle should be able to see it from 2000 miles away!

Im still wondering if the ribbon boards are going to be able to sustain the beating they are going to be taking on the student side.


Well if the AD didn't put anything up there to protect them, I'm gonna be seriously pissed if the students can't figure out that banging on them is freaking stupid. Banging on the letters was one thing, but don't ruin our new toys.



Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied with knowin' I got no one else to blame

I will have to echo what everyone else is saying on how you have to see it to believe how great everything looks.

Even the biggest skeptics will have a hard time being upset about the changes once they see it in person.

I have yet to see a picture that does the new jumbotron justice. The structure is absolutely massive. The addition of the ribbon boards + maroon background and white lettering really give KYLE a clean look too. Very impressive.

Seeing everything in person at Kyle has me really fired up to see the results of the planned changes for Reed Arena.

I thought they were going to put a bar there. If they eneded up not doing that they will regret it. The drunks are going to pound on those things no matter how dumb it seems to us here, sober, on our computers.

No, I'm sure they're putting Texas A&M. I'm just saying I still vote for it to say TEXAS AGGIES...I also don't care for the bevel on the T at midfield.

But the rest of the stuff looks pretty sharp. Overall I'm excited about it.

I used to be really bothered and want the TEXAS AGGIES and all that, but now I look at it from a "pitching it to the kids watching" perspective...same with the video boards and screen and lettering. We're going to get recruits just because of the changes to some of these things, so they're not all bad, no matter how you look at it.

If putting "TEXAS A&M" in the endzone will put our name in someones mind more strongly and make for better brand identity, then so be it...doesn't mean its my first choice, but from a branding standpoint, the consistent "message" to anyone seeing it is a big deal.

That said, to me everything looks good (and most better than I expected) except for the championship lettering outside and the cutout of the block aTm on the scoreboard from the other direction.

I'm sure you'll see a helmet decal with the bevels soon, as well, so prep for it.

I do not think I have ever seen

TEXAS A&M on one end zone and

AGGIES on the other...

I'm guessing the "South Divison Champions" lettering will be gone.

1876er, that is the back of the ribbon boards. As I said in the original post the panels are actually just a heavy duty tarp. I would have taken a closer pic of it but today they had the gates up so I couldn't go higher than the first deck.


I didn't notice that it said Texas A&M in the endzones until this thread.

The speakers on the bottom of the scoreboard are probably about 2 foot wide, give or take some. They definately speakers though.

And I was there maybe 30-45 minutes.
