Excerpt I had the pleasure of visiting College Station Texas to watch Auburn play Texas A&M at Kyle Field. From the moment my family and I stepped onto the shuttle bus that took us to the game, I felt like we might be in a special place. An older gentleman on the bus immediately asked if this was our first time to visit and we said yes. He welcomed us and launched into their traditions and campus locations we needed to see during our visit. He gave a rundown of a typical football Saturday at Texas A&M including lunch at the Dixie Chicken in Northgate, a walk through the Memorial Student Center and told us to make it to the Corps of Cadets march in to the stadium. As we exited the bus the same gentleman asked us if he could walk us to where the Corps of Cadets meet before lining up to march and introduce us around as his new friends from Auburn. We parted ways with him and walked towards Northgate for lunch and on our way we asked for directions to make sure we were going in the right direction. Again instead of giving us directions the middle aged man we asked walked us part of the way to our destination, asked us where we were from and welcomed us to College Station. We were blown away by this incredible hospitality. Not to mention later in the day this happened twice more as we made our way to the Memorial Student Center and then to find our gate entrance to the stadium. When we got to our seats, my Brother and I took the entire scene in. Without the great hospitality seeing a game at Kyle Field would have been enough to make it a great weekend. We watched the Yell Leaders throw up hand signals to begin each cheer and with a thunderous noise and perfectly synced, every Aggie fan belted out each cheer. It was amazing. PLEASE READ THE REST HERE I have two Granddaughters attending Texas A&M at Galveston, TX, though one will transfer to the main campus in College Station for the Spring Semester. They are just as involved in the activities as most of the Aggie students are. I thought this was an amazing article, very classy, and well written.
