[Texas A&M] has hired Populous to head up the design of Kyle Field -- and the result might be an overhaul of Kyle or perhaps even a new stadium. ... [Said A&M President R. Bowen Loftin:] "We are seeing an unprecedented demand for football season tickets ... Our football weekends will provide us with a key vehicle for introducing people around the country to Texas A&M, and we are committed to ensuring that Kyle Field reflects the unique traditions and Aggie spirit embodied by this world-class institution." According to a release from A&M: "The design study phase will explore various design options for Kyle Field, including plans for both a renovated stadium and a new stadium."

They will make less than they have he past 2 years. Throw in the buyout and it will be a decade before they break even

They benefited from the unequal revenue sharing plus the buyouts of COC and Colorado. They got somewhere in the mid $20's MM from what I heard.

The new end zone section is nice, but both sides have needed an upgrade for decades. Small bathrooms, bad concessions, tiny passageways, etc...

Aggies say it is modeled after the Swamp's North endzone.
