Ah, I guess somebody screwed up entering it on the listing. I thought it seemed odd.

Texas wont fill in the endzone for a while, their season ticket demands have gone down every year since 2008.

it's clearly right before a play is about to be run. You can see the blue team on the sidelines looking on and their players on the field looking like they are lining up.



Yeah, I noticed that. I'm trying to figure out what game that was, though. If you know, please 'fess up. I've never seen Kyle Field look like that. My guess is this was very late in the game and one team was blowing out the other (though it would be weird for the Aggies to be losing badly and have so many leave). Or it was early in the season and 100+ degrees.

I think that's right. I do think KSU blew us out at home during the dark days. That's embarrassing.

So I'm confused.

Is Kyle Field already 102k or will it be 102k in 2015?

Thanks - I guess I'm lazy. As far as I can tell this must have been 2008, when KSU won 44-30 in a 4-8 season. The announced attendance was 78K+, so obviously a lot of cretins left when it appeared hopeless. That's embarrassing. No other way to put it.

They jumped the gun a bit there, for sure. It will be 102.5K in 2015. Actually bigger this coming season, before they knock down the west side and rebuild with many more suites before '15.

Yes, that's Kansas State. It would be the 2008 game, during Sherman's 4-8 first year. So Drac has successfully found a game where our fans left near the end of a 44-30 loss, during a season that began w/ a soul-destroying defeat by Arkansas State.

kyle fied was officially at 82 from 1999-2013 but, at least in my years as an a&m fan, every game had at least 87. in 2014 it will be around 106 and it will come down to 102.5 in 2015

It was 2008 K-State.

K-State won 44-30 and the official attendance was 78669.

God that year was awful.

At the moment that picture was taken, Kansas State had 437 yards of total offense against us, so it was already very late into the game. If I had to guess, I'd say Kansas State game 2008. We had only 78k people show up to begin with and losing to a Ron Price team early doesn't surprise me since that was the same year we lost to Arkansas Sta.......argh, I just managed to piss myself off. frick 2008.
