All the club, field box, and armchair seats are now spoken for. Looks like in the next few minutes, the West will be sold out and the only things remaining will be upper deck end zone seats....two years before the first game. But Aggy is stupid for building such a big stadium as it's all about penis envy.

End of an era...I actually remember when we still played basketball there.

My family had season tickets for the last 15 years we played there. I got to see alot of basketball(Men's and Women's) and volleyball there over the years. It was actually a great venue back in the day. Some of those tu games were rockin'.

A&M basketball, intramural basketball, class registration, and annual Johnny Rod/Ronnie Milsap concerts for me.

I noticed some wood scaffolding of the 2nd deck on the student side near the zone this weekend. We were guessing maybe it was a fire exit being built with Reed torn down but does anyone know? And I don't see anything on this side.

this is interesting. You can walk inside this thing and it's got a wrap around plasma screen. The idea is to give people a feel of what it's like inside Kyle during a game.

If you havent visited OregonGridiron.com then you need to click the link. The facilities at Oregon are off the charts. Any team not doing what Oregon and A&M are with their football facilities is gonna be left in the dust in recruiting.

Still think we need to create a tailgating paradise in Spence. After a player's lounge, or something, I hope we make that our next project.

I agree, that area is wasted as it stands. Except for right by the sidewalk, the whole park is empty from Koldus to the Association.

Hell PMC moves their horses over there after they march-in.

Tailgating is just so spread out around campus that it makes it seem like we aren't very big on it.

That's frustrating. I don't mind having two big separate areas like we do, but Spence should be more of a focal point than it is. It needs a rehaul

Stupid question as I am sure it has already been addressed numerous times... but.... Will we be playing home games next year in Kyle Field? I know this set to be done in 2015 just didnt know if they would be relocating the games next year to a different site to complete construction or if they were just going to get it play ready for the season and finish up after next year.

My brain cant seem to remember exactly what I heard.

Starting the day after the last home game they will tear down the first level of the student side and start on the south end zone. The plan is to have the student side and south end zone complete by the start of the 2014 season, so yes we will be at home.

ETA: Capacity for next season will be around 109,000 although I heard the fire marshall may not allow that many.

I believe we're setting up a zip line on one end and a water slide on the other that deposits into the lazy river so we should be good here.
