Clearly, this is not done anywhere else and once again A&M is on the forefront of the college football experience.

Edit:
I think they'll be in those white tents seen just below the back of the video board (ATM logo & "Kyle Fiel")

Sounds miserable, to be honest with you.

LSU already announced something like this. A&M is just following daddy

This sounds like a worse version of typical party decks and on-field cabanas

FAQs Can I see the Field from the Tailgate Tower? No, the field is not visible from this area but we have televisions that show the live game day feed so that you will not miss a moment of the action.

Good way to get around selling liquor in the stadium..

LSU announced doing something like this a couple weeks ago. 1200 person area with food and alcohol with the game showing on TV. Only difference is I think you have to have a game ticket to access that area.

If you want to play that game we started doing it at Olsen last year.

Good point. Although we know what most people do anyways.

Why do I have to pay $5.00?
SEC rules state that alcohol may only be purchased in premium areas, therefore we must charge for guests to be able to enter the space.

Auburn started doing this, this year. An area that opens up before the game with food and booze. Its not open to general public though

As did a lot of the SEC schools....

So, it's tailgating on a concrete platform, where you can't setup a tent, tables, grill, etc... Instead, you pay money to sit there and then you can pay for alcohol without any of the normal tailgating activities?

Schools are getting desperate to fill the seats.

Alabama has had this for over a decade. And Tuscaloosa is surrounded by people that would skip their moms funeral to go to church on Wednesday night

You should go to a game at Virginia. You're allowed to leave the stadium at halftime, go to your car to drink and eat, and then return. Because of low attendance, your car is not far away.
