Kyle Field at Texas A&M ranks in the middle of the pack among pregame destinations in SEC

“The pregame action in College Station begins the night before games with the Midnight Yell and it keeps going to kickoff,” per bookies.com.

The SEC is the best and most consistent Power Four conference when it comes to play on the field and a case could be made that it is at the top when it comes to off the field shenanigans as well.

Texas A&M was recently featured in the third annual “SEC Pregame Destination Rankings” compiled by bookies.com. The list was based on four categories: location, tailgating, entertainment around stadium and family sentiment.

The Aggies were slotted seventh overall among the 16 programs in the conference. While the ranking isn’t poor, it is a downgrade from last year, when Texas A&M finished fifth.

“The pregame action in College Station begins the night before games with the Midnight Yell, and it keeps going to kickoff,” Adam Thompson wrote. “To no surprise, A&M ranks top five in entertainment options and in overall location, with all the action near Kyle Field. Scores were above the average for families, too.”

The Aggies‘ results by category are the following: location (5th), tailgating (10th), entertainment (4th) and family sentiment (8th).

Texas A&M football team to travel the third furthest among SEC programs

During Mike Elko’s first year as the football head coach, Texas A&M will have to travel the third furthest among the 16 programs in the SEC.

During Mike Elko‘s first season as the football head coach in College Station, Texas A&M will have to travel the third furthest among the 16 programs in the Southeastern Conference.

According to bookies.com, the Aggies will rack up over 5796 miles this year traveling to only four road games. The only SEC squads that have to go further is LSU and Mizzou. The respective Tigers from Louisiana and Missouri each travel long distances for non-conference contests. Therefore, Texas A&M is traveling the furthest for its SEC games.

Texas A&M‘s longest route is 1847 miles to Columbia, South Carolina for a matchup versus the Gamecocks. The Aggies’ closest away contest is still pretty far, 967 miles away in Starkville against Mississippi State. Per BetMGM, Texas A&M has the eighth best odds to win the conference at +2000.

When it comes to the Aggies’ SEC opponents this year, they rank in the following order regarding miles traveled: LSU (1st), Mizzou (2nd), Texas (4th), Mississippi State (5th), South Carolina (8th), Florida (12th), Arkansas (13th) and Auburn (16th).
