Don't care if it's already been posted.
I was 18 years old, had just moved across the country to Long Island, and was a probie on my first fire department. I volunteered to go into Manhattan on 9/11, and stepping up to say "send me" that day was a seminal moment of my life.
I lost two friends on FDNY that day.

Kudos, Aggies.

Looks great.
The stands behind the field being off center with the field bothers me though
May just be the angle.

Now that I have seen it, I can't unsee it.
Also, very cool tribute from A&M

The story of the first red white and clue out was very cool. First game back after 9/11 - 10 days after 9/11. In the days leading up to the game, there was a thread on TexAgs with the idea to get everyone on the top deck to dress in red, then white, then blue. It was TOTALLY grass roots. Student organizers got a bunch of shirts printed up fast to get to people for the game.
I'm still amazed that was pulled off.

The field has been adjusted a few times during different renovations. I believe it is lower than it was when I was in school by 5-8 ft and it is shifted by about 5 yds off of symmetry with the stadium in the current configuration with the 2nd and 3rd student levels having the north end aligned with the back of the endzone and the south end aligned with the goal line roughly.
Not an optical illusion or camera angle.
