A&M will sport biggest football stadium in state

[TexasTowelie]

The Texas A&M System Board of Regents voted Wednesday to approve a $450 million refurbishment project of Kyle Field that will make the stadium the largest in the state and third biggest college venue in the country.

The stadium capacity will be 102,500 after the project is completed. That’s an increase of about 20,000. Kyle will be the largest in the Southeastern Conference and nationally, behind only Michigan and Penn State.

There will be the ability to seat an additional 3,000 as standing room only tickets.

The University of Texas currently is the largest in the state, with a seating capacity of 100,119. There are only six college venues in the country that can seat at least 100,000.

1. There has to be a Aggie joke somewhere here.

How many Aggie's can you fit in a football stadium.

2. #3 in the country is good.

Wish we coulda squeezed a few extra for #1, but it's all good.

Looking forward to competing for a national title this year!

3. Here is another image for you.

It looks like a maroon and white terrazzo floor.

However, there are rumors that they will be expanding the parking lots so they can be #1 with the world's largest tailgating party.
