DKR atmosphere

[gamecockcat]

I've attended two games at DKR, both vs ranked Okie St teams. While the stands were packed, it didn't seem like the atmosphere was all that loud. I've been in several SEC stadiums that I felt were much louder. I'd be interested to hear about the experience from those who attend today's game in comparison to other stadiums.

BTW, lots of eye candy to enjoy if you happen to like good looking coeds in sun dresses, cowgirl boots and hats. With 50+k students, law of averages say there will be a lot of good looking ones. There are.

Outside both schools being huge, the differences between TX & A&M couldn't be bigger. One a city, lib-oriented hemmed in by the city & the other with what I think is the largest campus in the country almost in the middle of nowhere that is quite conservative.

Atmosphere at A&M is electric and that stadium gets LOUD. Not nearly as much at DKR in my limited experience.

Yep. I lived in SWLa for eight years back in the 90s, worked with engineers from both schools but more so from A&M. I’ve been on the A&M campus two different times.

I can attest their cultures are very different and they really don’t like each other.

LOL. Sorry but I born into BBN (Union County, now living in Evansville). Not only that but I’m a fan of A&M over the Longhorns. Have a great day!

Had a co-worker go to the UF beatdown a couple of weeks ago and that was her comment too.
