Phase II of the project. Still in the planning stages. Nothing is solidified but this is the concept they are working on.

No sir, last I heard we were still paying that renovation off. Exterior will be new, but I don't think there are any new plans structurally.

Aren't they still trying to sell the ones they just built?


Nah. They sold out like a month after the SEZ expansion announcement was made.

I know there was an ad for single game suite sales.


I'm thinking one of the sales fell through or a company pulled out at the last minute.

I heard that the single suite was built with the sole purpose of having the capability of renting out a suite on an individual basis.

Say a company doesn't have a normal suite, this gives them the opportunity to rent one out for a single game if investors, clients, etc are in town

Eta: correct me if I'm wrong

Statue of the Aggie Ring that sits in front of the Association of Former Students building.
Ring Plaza
It's not new--nor is it nearly as close to Kyle Field as that pic makes it appear to be.





For scale/perspective of its distance from Kyle Field, the stadium is in the background of this photo

My question was more why do you have a statue of what looks like a class ring? I'm honestly curious as it seems pretty odd to me

I understand that the Kyle Field project is being built in stages over multiple off-seasons, correct? What is the final product supposed to look like?

It's actually an Aggie Ring--not a class ring.
Most Ags wear it.
Unlike class rings that are usually individualized for each student, all Aggie Rings are the same (apart from year and diamond).
The Aggie Ring is a big tradition at A&M--Former Students recognize each other by its presence on the wearer's hand; hence the statue in front of the Association of Former Students bldg.

That's correct.
Phase 2 (begins next offseason) will actually be more complex than Phase 1 has been.

It appears that all of the added capacity will be in for this year, but much of the renovations of the inside of the stadium will occur between now and next season, correct?

The entire west side of the stadium has yet to undergo the controlled demolition/explosion over the offseason, making room for suites, club, and all new west side seating.
Additionally the NEZ plaza will be demolished and rebuilt.
It will look much, much different a year from now.

New Texas A&M locker rooms, players lounge & barbershop to be unveiled at 3 PM today.

Have seen bootleg pics and it makes the stuff Urban Meyer tweeted look like a yugo.

Players beginning to tweet about it.
Looks like they're currently doing the walk-through.
