We are officially less than a week away from the 2023 college football season getting underway in the SEC, which means kicking off the season in front of the best fans in the world.
Kyle Field has been home to Aggie football since 1904 and as a permanent concrete stadium since 1927. With an upgraded capacity of 102,733, the Maroon and White home is officially the SEC’s largest stadium, and the gameday environment is only intensified by the presence of the raucous 12th Man.
Media and opponents alike have lauded Kyle Field as one of the most daunting stadiums in the SEC. While the atmosphere poses a threat to foes, it offers more than ample fuel to inspire the Aggies on game day.
Texas A&M football shared a hype video ahead of the team’s 2023 season opener in which several players, from wide receiver Evan Stewart to quarterback Conner Weigman, shared exactly what it feels like to walk out the tunnel in front of the one-hundred-plus fans on Saturday afternoons:
(DL Shemar Stewart): “Man, playing at Kyle Field is crazy. You look up, you just see them, then you just see the stadium moving.”
(WR Noah Thomas): “Gives me chills every time I come out the tunnel.”
(WR Evan Stewart): “It’s different, especially when they get to swinging the towels around, and you start feeling the air.”
(DL Enai White): “The stadium is always rocking. That vibe is just different.”
(QB Conner Weigman): “Just being able to see a hundred thousand people, there for you, cheering for you, every move you do; I mean, there’s nothing like it.”
(OL Kam Dewberry): “We sell out a hundred and six, a hundred and eight thousand people, and that stand is just rocking, you know. People come here, and you know they get scared, they get timid, you know Kyle Field is what the hype is about.”
(TE Max Wright): “It’s not even close. The 12th Man…it’s the best environment, the best fans, Kyle Field is the best environment in the world.”

Texas A&M will kick off their 2023 rebound campaign on Saturday, Sep. 2, from Kyle Field against New Mexico, offering the first opportunity to see the raucous 12th Man in action. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT, with the game airing on ESPN.
The anticipation is arguably at an all-time high with Aggie football announcing that season tickets are officially sold out. The near-record 93,000 total season tickets purchased includes a record number of 39,000 Student Sports Passes, ensuring the nation’s largest student section will be sold out this season.
