GOAT FARM!
I told ya'll Texas A@M was not going to sit pat like they did in the BIG 12. They got the money and fan base to compete every year with the Big boys of the SEC. The SEC west is gonna be murder in a couple of years.
Texas A@M expanding football stadum to 102,000
Except that renewed excitement in A&M football happened long before anyone knew that Johnny Manziel would take college football by storm.
The surge in enthusiasm for A&M football came when the Aggies decided to leave the Big 12 and join the Southeastern Conference. The Aggies have supported that move with their pocketbook and their presence at games.
Soon, they will have a football palace to reflect that fervor.
In 2011, A&M's final year in the Big 12, Kyle Field was sold out for every home game for the first time.
Last season, season tickets were sold out in late March, the earliest that mark had been achieved.
So when Texas A&M officials announced Wednesday that Kyle Field will be remade into a bigger, better version, the reaction is almost a "What took you so long?"
The project will cost a projected $450 million, which is hefty for any university. But if things keep going in the current direction, and the SEC continues to dominate college football, the price tag for making Kyle Field bigger and better will be money well spent
