that stinks big time. On those tuesday games where there was a thin crowd it was fun to lean back and prop my feet up on the chair back in front of me.

So they ripped out benches with backs to be replaced by benches without?...

On one hand, it doesn't affect me on the first deck. On the other hand, WTF?!?

That is terrible. What do I have to look forward to tapping with my ring?

cheap *******s... guess I'll be leaning into someone crotch at packed games...

Maybe you'll be able to rent the chair back seats every game like they have at Kyle.

But that's a downgrade from what we had before. Noooooooooo. Are we going to start standing at baseball games now?

Rented chair backs don't quite make the same noise alumnium does.

And they'd get a bunch of busted seats back after the first weekend series.

I don't need a cushion seat. I just want a bench back.

I'm cool with green seats, I am not cool with just benches in GA. Why downgrade???
Based on the design of the second deck it seems with just benches it would be a weird sitting situation since your butt would be even with the concrete behind you and nothing to stop you from going back. Most benches like at Kyle are above the concrete level behind them.

I was counting down the days till I got to beatin' on those bleacher backs with my Aggie ring.

...no good...

I expect that means the "bench" will be on the concrete shelf that used to be for feet.

There will be no space beneath the bench to place personal items (bags, coats, etc.).

Watching a game at Olsen will be akin to sitting through a 9 inning game at a little league park only with a better game in front of you.

That will be the end of kicking your feet up and spreading your arms on the bench back while enjoying the sun at a Tuesday game... Nor will you ever hear the Aggies cross the plate again.

Right Field Bleachers used to be punishment for late arrival... now they're everywhere.

Capt Dan if you read this. Is there any way to make the first 5 or 10 rows have backings on them?? Could you price it out? There might be someone out there willing to give us seat backs. Seriously for those tuesday games it was nice to sit back and stretch out and enjoy a sunny afternoon game.

Heck for playoff games they make those cost more.

How much additional would it cost to get seat backs in GA? If we get a TexAgs donation going, could it be done?

And would they be named after us?

I would help!

not cool

I'm 1st deck, but willing to make contribution for student section with backs ... gotta have something for students to bang rings on!

Make your thoughts known to the 12th Man.

Nicely, please.

That's terrible, I'd chip in to buy some seat backs, and I don't even make many games.

Will be doing. I'll draft a letter and post it so if you wanna copy you're more than welcome to.

Terrible news

somebody please tell me that 218, 219, and 220 will still have backs

I think they will all be weatherproof lazyboyz...with cup holders...automatic beer dispensers (SHINER BOCK), and a diamond darling per seat.

Are you trying to be funny or a jackass?

Honestly I was just messin round. Sorry to offend. Wasnt serious at all. Ive been going to Aggie Baseball games since I was 5 and my parents had season tickets on the second deck from 2000 to 2006 so I am just as upset as y'all that there will be no backings on the benches.

If somebody drafts a letter, please post. I would like to send one as well.

Hmmm... odd choice, 12th Man.

taking away from my senior year and last baseball season as a student experience...

i can live with benches, but i wanna bang my ring on something that won't be muffled by people's butts sitting on it. and i wanna be able to kick back on tuesdays when i have the room to spread out and enjoy the game.

hell i'll donate money if that's what it takes. it won't be much, but i'd find something.

Please, send your own verisons of the letter. Make changes were you want or completely write your own, but i posted it so others have things to go off of.

It's important to note the good things, that facailities are being updated, and the upper deck will be avialable for people who were unable to access it, in the past. None of it would be possible without the gift from the Kruses either. And I understand that the check writers and BMA and business that are buying the suites are fitting most of the bill for this. But I know, that if no GA showed up to all games it would seriously hurt the coffers.

Please make it a point to praise the good things the 12th man foundation has done; but let it be known that you do not support portions of the changes taking place currently and you'd like to see them addressed.
