Texas A&M supporters are bracing for a raucous environment in Kyle Field this weekend as well as potential difficulty landing tickets for a matchup against Alabama. TAMU students are already camping out in hopes of getting their hands on those tickets early this week.
Tents lined the Aggie football facility and box office early Monday morning as anticipation mounts for the SEC West showdown.
The 12th Man is one of the most difficult places to play annually, and this Saturday that home field advantage should be on full display. The Ags will host the Crimson Tide in College Station as they look to pull the upset.
A&M has recovered from a Week 2 loss to Miami by reeling off consecutive wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn, and Arkansas. The 2-0 start in SEC play has given hope of a potential championship appearance.
To see that come to fruition, the Aggies will likely need a win over Alabama, who’s also off to a 2-0 start in league action.
The winner of this contest will take control of first place in the Western division. With that being said, tickets will likely be hard to find.
High demand caused droves of Texas A&M students to flock to the box office in hopes of landing tickets to see the Aggies take on Alabama. Monday morning, photos were taken of folks camping out in front of the stadium.

According to the Texas A&M athletic website, students have the option to purchase a ticket package that gives access to all sporting events, including football.
A ticket pull is assigned with specific times for each student class. For example, grad students and seniors’ slot starts at 8 AM on Monday. Subsequent classes continue throughout the rest of the week.
Ticket Pull begins the Monday morning of each home game week. Texas A&M Students with a valid sports option will pull tickets according to academic classification. Classification is based on number of hours/years completed at Texas A&M, whichever gives the highest priority.
Getting to the box office early not only gives you the best chance of securing a ticket, but it also likely gives you the best seating options.
Am I able to pick the seats I want?
No. You can pick the deck where you want to stand, but the seats are pulled randomly from the best seats available at the time you pull.
That senior class will be loud and proud in Kyle Field by the looks of that Monday morning scene. We’ll see if they can will their Aggies to a win over Alabama.
A&M pulled the upset the last time the Tide visited Kyle Field. A sold-out crowd in the 100,000+ seat venue is hoping for a repeat performance.
