Here’s the source of all the ticket troubles, the Kyle Field Sta-
dium, outlined in drab colors to show the seating arrangement and
general design. The AGGIE presents this graphic sketch in the hope
that by actually SEEING the stadium design A. & M. men will better
understand the ticket difficulties faced by the Athletic Department.
The AGGIE hopes its readers will study the sketch, particularly those
‘disappointed with. their tickets for this year’s Thanksgiving Day game.
THE AGGIE:DEVOUTLY HOPES SUCH STUDY WILL DISPEL
MUCH OF THE GLOOM, MISUNDERSTANDING AND ILL-FEEL-
ING THAT HAS FOLLOWED THE ADVANCE TICKET SALE TO
MANY ASSOCIATION MEMBERS.
CHECK AND REMEMBER THESE FACTS:
FIRST: The visiting school has a right to one-half of all tick-
ets, starting at the 50 yard line on both sides of the field, and
running south. For the Texas U. game the Longhorns take
their full share. They have the same problem for this game
as have the Aggies. THIS ELIMINATES HALF THE MID-
FIELD TICKETS AS FAR AS A. & M. IS CONCERNED.
STEN) The EAST side, (sections 129, 130, 131, 132) from
the A. & M. CADET CORPS and faculty. This is the sunny
side of the field. AND THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE-
FOURTH OF THE MID-FIELD AND SIDE-LINE SEATS.
THIRD: The WEST side, (sections 107, 108, 109, 110) between
the 50 and the goal line contains 3,500 seats. With the excep-
tion of 500, these seats go to members of the Association or-
dering early. The 500 go to members of the football squad,
College Board of Directors, and the press. \
FOURTH: The legislature and other college guests for this
big game are placed in boxes along the cinder track in front
of the west stands.
FIFTH: Going back to item three; only some 3,000 seats are
available for Association members between the goal line and
the 50 yard line. If these members applied for only 3,000
seats, more than half of them would of necessity be closer
to the goal line than to the 50 yard line. The highest number
previously applied for by Association members on this ad-
vance sale was 2,200 tickets (1927). The AGGIE allowed for
“an application for 2,500 when it figured in an earlier issue
that all men applying at the correct time would be placed be-
tween the 15 and the 50 yard line.
~~ BUT
MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION, WHEN APLICATIONS
WERE OPENED ON OCTOBER 5, HAD APPLIED FOR OVER 5,000
TICKETS!!!
It doesn’t require an engineer’s slide-rule to figure out why many
of these applications had to be filled from sections beyond the goil
line. :
A brief study of the stadium design will also answer the fre-
quent question “How is it possible to be sold down to the goal line,
when only 5,000 tickets have been sold?”
The above sketch should also enable Aggie readers to visualize the
peculiar stadium design that has 20,000 seats, or two-thirds of the
seating capacity, BEHIND THE GOAL LINES.
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
Two solutions have already been suggested; first, that the Asso-
ciation of Former Students get completely out of the football ticket
picture and let the Athletic Dept. open ticket sales on a certain date
and sell them on a first-come-first-sold basis to general public, Aggie
Exes or anyone else.
The second suggestion is that an arbitrary limit of 2 tickets per
Association member be allowed in the Ex-Student section, with addi-
tional orders being filled after these two-per-man applications were
filled.
THE AGGIE is certain that the Association cannot afford to con-
tinue its participation in the present plan. Too many good and loyal
A. & M. men are annually disappointed, with a resultant ill-feeling
against the Association.
YOUR SUGGESTIONS will be welcomed.
