Texas has a very nice stadium and it is 100k, they also have a nice tailgate scene. The problem is it is a social event and is more like a pro stadium. A LOT of the tickets are owned by Austin companies or just locals since it is a good sized metro with no NFL team (no NFL in San Antonio either which is a little over an hour away). That's why they make so much money. I live in Austin and have gone to Texas games they weren't playing A&M in (wearing neutral colors). Folks show up late and leave early and you can also leave the stadium at halftime to hit the bar across the street. A lot of folks don't come back. I've never seen it really get loud even for some big A&M games outside of maybe a big play or two.

Texas is just the pro team of Austin. It's not a bad atmosphere it just isn't what you think of when you think of when you think of college football.

“I like without a doubt playing on the road better than playing at home. It’s way louder and gets me way [more excited]. No offense to our fans, but [DKR] is not loud,” Vaccaro told The Daily Texan.
Vaccaro listed his favorite places to play as Texas A&M’s Kyle Field and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
“Kyle Field is loud, man,” he said. “Kyle Field gets wild.”
