That what the rules require. What do the expect the Aggies to do?

Tell season ticket holders they can't renew?

How does that compare to what they make available to conf opponents?

I love our new conference already and we haven't even seen a down played. Gameday atmosphere will be great.

Didn't we have this same problem (too few visitors' tickets) with baler last year?

6000 is 2200 more than we gave any Big 12 schools.

Interesting read. I'd like to know where UF puts visitors in their stadium? I wonder do most SEC schools put the visiting fans right behind the visiting team bench?

All this gets resolved with the expansion of Kyle.

Perhaps our Florida posters might care to drop some money in the donation box?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, its our first SEC game and our demand is very high. We aren't used to having so many visitors so we have seats promised to Aggies. And it will be fixed soon with the expansion, which doesn't help this year but I feel like there should be an allowable transition period...

UF puts their visitors in the same place except for putting visitors in about the first 10 rows right behind the visitors bench.

It seems like their AD is trying to ease the pressure off them and blaming A&M.

That's what I figured. I wonder if those smaller SEC schools give out 8k to UF when they come

Interesting.

Some gator fans are pissed because 6000 tickets aren't enough for a team 924 miles away.

Baylor, during the Year of the Bear, couldn't bring 1200 fans 90 miles.

They tried to send the tarp but we wouldn't let it in

Tell the ones that couldn't get tickets to check the schedule and see if there's a game at Kyle Field North that day. Plenty of tickets will be available for that one.

This is called a good problem to have.

It is strictly logistics. The Gator and other SEC fans need to understand that nothing is being done to screw them over.

The situation is simple. Last year when it was announced that A&M was heading to the SEC, we had an almost immediate sell out of season tickets, WHEN WE WERE A MEMBER OF THE BIG 12.

So now that we have had to increase our visitor allotment, (which was rarely sold out) we simply do not have those seats available past the required 6000.

Add the fact that this is the home of the 12th man and we have by far the largest student season ticket block in the nation and it compounds the problem.

So what is A&M suppose to do, force some Ag season ticket holders to relinquish their seats!? That would create a much greater problem then supplying the minimum number of seats for our guest. If there is an unspoken agreement that 8500 seats will be made available for the larger schools I am sure that A&M will get there but can't do that now.

The issue will be solved with expansion, but the idea that A&M is trying to be difficult here is misplaced.

definitely, stephen! nothing like that old stupid conference! our atmosphere will be nothing like we saw before in those horrible conferences!

Gawd, do you ALWAYS have to be such a pr-ck with everyone you don't agree with?

This forum is great. Look at the passion between all of the SEC schools represented here.

bo, are you not exctied?!

Those swamp dwellers will take what they are given and like it.

Looking at pics, it looks more like 5ish row than 10

Coming to CS will be a great trip every year for Opposing SEC fan's.

Here is my take who travels best

1 Alabama
2 LSU
3 Tennessee
4 Georgia
These teams will travel 10 to 30 thousand

5 USC
6 Ark
7 Auburn

These teams will travel 5 to 20 thousand

Rest will travel 3 to 10 thousand

SEC is football crazy. better expand Kyle to at least 100k

So you're saying they travel better than Baylor and ISU?

This is me not giving a damn what an opponent thinks they deserve in the amount of tickets we allow them to purchase.

Are we breaking a rule? No. So quitchabeetchin' and get in line for the ass whipping.

Put some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea.

As far as I'm concerned the less Florida fans at Kyle field the better. I've been to a game at the swamp and they put their visitors on the same place. Most are placed in the last few rows behind one of the endzones, equivalent to the last rows atop the zone at Kyle field. They really don't have a legitimate complaint. It's just them being arrogant and thinking they're better than everyone else as always. This is the reputation of their alumni, students and fans within the state of Florida. These complaints are just another example.

It's only a problem for this one year. According to Muschump, this is the only time Gator fans will come to College Station

Lets drop their allotment to 5,500 and see if they kindly shut the **** up about it.
