College Prowler Take
Football is, by far, the biggest and most overshadowing sport at A&M. Most students enjoy football games and the traditions that go along with them. When there is a game, it seems like everyone and his mother goes. It is the place to be as a student, and the people who live in College Station, as well as alumni, also show up at the games. Baseball and women’s soccer are often-overlooked sports that students enjoy, as well. Not as many people come to these games, but they are a great time, and the teams are really good. A&M devotes a lot of money and energy to developing a nationally-ranked team, and it shows. Kyle Field is always filled to capacity with screaming fans, but this obsession with football can be quite annoying. For instance, campus employees tow everyone’s car out of campus parking lots to make room for alumni and other people that are driving into town for the weekend. Athletics at a nationally-recognized university is important, but many students admit that the majority of athletic funding could be better used in other places. Realistically, there are things more important than football, but it’s still really fun to go to the games and cheer your team on, especially when they’re good. Students Speak Out

Football is the biggest sport on campus, as far as varsity goes. Our men and women’s basketball teams aren’t very good, but they are improving. Men’s baseball is a pretty big sport, and our track team also has a strong following. IM sports are pretty big, as well. |

You should get a Corps date to the games, because then you can stand on the first level and see the game better. Fish [Freshmen] have to draw tickets last, and they usually get them on the third deck—up by the clouds, birds, and the Goodyear blimp. |

I don’t think football is as great as everyone says. It’s really hot in the fall, and you have to stand the whole game until your legs feel like they’ll fall off. I’d rather watch it on TV. |

Football is very big, with this being Texas and all. The games are so much fun! IM sports are cool, too, and there’s a wide variety. |

Getting Tickets
Order a Sports Pass when you register for classes. The Sports Pass is basically a general admissions ticket for events, although it can sometimes be hard to get. There are Web sites for people looking to rent someone else’s sports pass for a game or two if they have friends coming to visit. The All Sports Passes also cost $250, which is a decent chunk of change.
