I'm being selfish but I hope they don't ever expand to the point of reseating because I have 0 faith in the 12th Man Foundation not screwing over fans that have had same seats 10+ years.

---

If the expansion happens, I think there will 100% be a re-seating. They must take into account length of term for season ticket holders in addition to PP points, imo. But they could easily say baseball season ticket holders got fat by not making donations to the TMF since they didn't have to and punish them by re-seating based on PP.

---

They will have to reseat in order to give the big donors a reason to pony up. What I don't want to see is someone who has a high priority thanks to football donations edge out longtime season ticket holders just because they can. So, what I would do, as a compromise, is to do reseating in two phases. Phase One would be for major donors to the expansion project, setting a threshold like $500,000 or so, and existing season ticket holders. There would be a lot of movement but no one who has seats now would be pushed out. Then, Phase Two would be everyone based on priory points.

---

If they expand but don't do anything to the existing seats what's the justification for reseating? With Kyle they could argue that they tore down the entire west side so your seats didn't exist anymore. I don't think the plan they floated a couple of years ago included anything that drastic so I just don't see how they justify it. I've said for years if I get a chance to buy my existing tickets and can't afford them I'm fine but if I get forced out for someone with more priority points I'll politely decline and find something else to do with my time and money. They won't miss me but I've sat in that basic spot for 31 years and that should matter. If it doesn't so be it.

I've had season tickets for 31 years in the same area. Today I'm a few feet from where I was in 1996 when I first purchased them. I attended every home game of the 2000 season where we ended on like a 20 game losing streak and kept paying for them when my kids schedules meant I got to 5-6 games a year. I've earned some loyalty from the program and forcing me out of seats I've had for three decades isn't that. Loyalty is a two way street. If that bothers you i don't care.

Could anyone answer where we stand on season ticket availability and stadium expansion options?

I used to split my donations between the football excellence fund and the baseball excellence fund. I called the 12th Man Foundation in December 2025 and asked when plans for BBP expansion would be on any agenda, and was told there has been NO discussion and all focus was on the Player Development Facilities.

As such, I re-allocated 100% of my donations to the Football Excellence Fund, and informed the 12th Man Foundation I would re-allocate monies to Baseball when the University/Athletic Dept prioritized expanded seating.

Well, they aren't going to do that until there are funds soooooooooooo

Give me a plan and put it on an agenda for discussion to show you're serious about it, and I'll open the wallet, so . . . . . . . .

The plan is when the big donors write the check they'll expand. They just got those guys to pay for playerfacility which everyone said where more important than more seating

Complete lack of vision when they built BB.

We leave so much money on the table with lack of capacity / premium seating …

If there was money to be made by expanding, we would have done it a long time ago. Whatever we build will not pay for itself. That's why we haven't built anything in the way of fan amenities, yet. Until we have enough money donated for this project, it's not happening.

Extend seats along first and third base and add some permanent seats on outfield fence and cut the temporary seats. All the surveys were about club seats and exclusive seating. Not everyone cashed out of an ownership position of an oil and gas company. The berms are the WORST

bleachers arent much better

So, cheap seats are needed... But cheap seats suck?

The berms fill a real niche which is why hundreds of stadiums in college and MiLB use them.

---

Not even close. Consider where College Station is located, and you're never going to have casual fans drive between 1 and 3 hours to watch a game from a grass berm, assuming they'll find a comfortable spot.

---

Never? I bring my family of 5 to a game (sometimes two if sports anlign) every year and love the berm experience. Wish there was more berm! Need an outfield berm.

---

I absolutely despise the berms. I stand in the concourse just behind the yellow line before I sit in the berm areas. Been doing it for years now. I'd be all in for season tickets or even single game GA down the expanded first and third base lines, if ever created. Of course, I'm not the one writing a colossal check for expansion.

Too bad Mr Aplin is not a baseball fan, could upgrade it to Bluebell Park/Buc-ee's Field and make it better than Miss States,

That's not fair. Blue Bell happened a year before the SEC move was announced. At that time tickets weren't as in demand as they are now so the decision was made to reduce capacity but make the overall experience nicer. I think if we make the decision a year later we probably build 2500 additional permanent seats.

Bluebell is not expanding anytime soon.

It's a pretty nice place compared to lets say.....REED ARENA

We can't fill up for our own regional elimination game. Don't need to expand…

Again not remotely relevant and it's frustrating people are giving stars to posts that don't demonstrate any understanding of the topic at hand. Every game the Ags played last weekend was busting at the seems except the Monday night "if necessary" game and that's your indictment of the fanbase? More to the topic of expansion thats your measure of demand for tickets?

Demand for season tickets at Olsen far outpaces supply even as prices go up annually. Thats a simple truth thats proved multiple times a year when people ask this exact question. There are people that have been waiting for years to get season tickets to A&M Baseball with no luck. It's almost certainly the hardest ticket in the athletic department. Demand is there, that's undeniable.

---

Demand for season tickets does not equate to demand for going to most baseball games. People want season tickets to guarantee they can go to the few most popular games a year that have the highest demand. They don't want season tickets to go to the whole season as evidenced by the rest of the season, and that's not a good reason for stadium expansion. If you want to talk about better ways to get unused seats into the hands of people that want them, I'm all for it, that is a legit problem. But we don't need a bigger stadium to have more empty seats for the vast majority of the games, there just isn't support for it across the whole season. And once there is, I'll be the first one in line banging the drum for expansion. I want nothing more than us consistently selling out a 15k stadium, because I love this team and this sport that much, but expansion means we need more fans to make this a commitment rather than a convenience.

I've been a season ticket holder for football since 2014 and I can't get a sniff at season tickets at baseball. I ask and I'm told there are none available

I don't think you understand, but there are a lot of season ticket holders who are happy with just attending a few games a year, but purchase the entire season. This is why they came up with the half season ticket option. Empty seats doesn't mean unsold tickets, as season tickets have been sold out for years now.

I understand perfectly, since I sit there game in and game out with all these empty seats around me while people complain about not being able to go to games. I feel like you're making the same point. How about something like "if you don't scan in 75% of your tickets, or at least list them for sale or give back to TMF for resale, then you can't renew your season tickets", I'd be game for something like that before we expand so that more people buy season tickets to go to 5 games a year… then if we prove we are filling up consistently, we can really talk about expansion and I'll be first in line to do it!

You know this or are you speculating?

Why do think it's happening soon? We don't have any plans, a budget or donations lined up to pay for it. I mean I guess they might be keeping it secret.

Anytime soon to me means in the next 2 years

but it's been repeated on here over and over and over again there aren't any hard plans. People keep showing the same renderings that never have been approved.

The bleachers look awful.
