It will gall every aggy that hears this tonight: The University of Texas just had the largest crowd to ever watch a football game in the state of TEXAS ~98,000 ~
Those of you attending the game today are going to be very impressed with what you see and experience at DKR TMS. Don't think this new addition and general improvments (muchless the ~ 11,000+ more offical seats than Pyle) the last few years have gone unoticed by lowly aggy.
They cannot ignore or stand that the Joneses just increased the arms race by 5 levels. Here are some random thoughts:
DKR now looks like a shining jewel, especially to a recruit... Pyle Field like a tired aging tackle box
$ Bill Byrne / aggy cannot shrink seat size anymore to increase capacity to keep up
aggy cannot afford to add on meaningful new seats to Pyle anytime in the near future
aggy may have structural challanges adding to Pyle & have to build a whole new facility
aggy needs to start winning and keeping existing seats full if they have any hope of increasing seat capacity in the near future
Now having said all that, you know $ Bill and aggy will not sit by and do nothing. Here is what you will see in the next 12- 24 months:
aggy will try to spruce up Pyle with some cosmetic changes, new paint, banners and some other feel good things (ex. - petting zoo, including sheep)
aggy will put in some temp bleachers, if there is space to do so
$ Bill will announce "talks" or "plans" to increase seating capacity at Pyle
poor aggy
