Great atmosphere, loud, proud, and super friendly.
Pros- highlight for me was going into the field after the game. People are super friendly and welcoming. Polite, great tailgating, and drinking around campus was a plus. TAMU's band was amazing.
Cons- I wore a hat to the student center and got a put down. I apologized, and complied. She was nice about it, but it is awkward to get chastised for wearing a hat on a ordinary looking building. I did step in some sacred grass or something as well. The yell leaders? Over the top queer, but the yells themselves were great. Y'all sing a bit too much.

Sorry you had the negative experience about the hat/grass thing. Some Ags need to learn as we play a lot of new teams it is a lack of knowledge about the area than being disrespectful. LSU fans used to jump and dance on the grass when I was in school. Lots of military vets from A&M and they are serious about that memorial as it houses the 7 Medal's of Honor that Aggies were awarded. Still, Aggies need to always be gracious and ask people respectfully to honor the memorial and not snap at them.

You could have avoided the chastising by reading the copious amounts of strategically placed signs requesting that you not wear a hat in the MSC or walk on its grass.
The door you walked through specifically says "no hats," and provides the reason why. I know you walked through such door because literally all of them say that.
There are also signs all over the ~2 acres (at most) grass which kindly inform you not to walk on it.
