Aggie Traditions
https://www.tamu.edu/traditions/gameday/midnight-yell/index.html
If you have never been to a Texas A&M home football game at Kyle Field, then I highly recommend going to Midnight Yell the night before every home game.
It is quite the Aggie experience for the whole family or group!
ALSO - I always love watching our 'Fightin' Texas Aggie Band', football team and Corps of Cadets march into the stadium right before the game. It's really something you will never forget!
There are tons of food trucks and activities for the kids right around the stadium as well (bounce houses, etc.).

Locals, Aggies, Former Students, Dignitaries, and Visitors from All Over continue to come to Koppe Bridge to enjoy their made-to-order AWARD WINNING burgers and fries made fresh and served in a casual, rustic atmosphere. My favorite location is the one on Wellborn Road.
Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill, 11777 Wellborn Rd, College Station, TX 77845
It's about a 15 minute drive to Koppe Bridge from the Fightin' Farmhouse.
Koppe has all the elements of a great burger joint. It has a loyal following of customers. It has a very casual atmosphere. It is a great place to just hang out, eat a burger and watch a ballgame. If shooting pool and playing video games if your thing – Koppe Bridge has you covered. It’s a great place to just hang out with friends. You can also sit out on the patio as well if you’d like. The waitstaff is very helpful and polite.

Sightseeing
The Century Tree, located near the Academic Building on the A&M campus, is a place that holds a special place in the heart of many Aggies. Well over 100 years old, the tree was one of the first trees planted on Texas A&M's massive 5,200-acre campus. The beautiful live oak has been the site of countless Aggie marriage proposals, weddings, and tourist snapshots because of its immense size and its unique drooping branches, many of which rest on the ground. Tradition says that if a couple walks together underneath the Century Tree, they will eventually marry — and if a marriage proposal takes place under the tree, the marriage will last forever.

The Bonfire Memorial embodies many layers of meaning associated with the Aggie Spirit—a deep sense of belonging, a strong spirit of teamwork and leadership and an enduring sense of tradition that unites thousands. The Bonfire Memorial celebrates the tradition, history and spirit of Texas A&M, and the dedication of those involved in the tragic collapse of the 1999 Bonfire. Uniting Aggies past, present and future, the Memorial is comprised of three design elements:
The Tradition Plaza marks the entrance to the memorial and reflects on the activities that bring Aggies together.
The History Walk portrays the 90 years of Bonfire preceding the 1999 collapse.
The Spirit Ring surrounds the site of the 1999 Bonfire and represents the Aggie Spirit that unites individuals into something greater than themselves. The twelve portals are oriented toward the hometowns of those who perished in the collapse.
For Aggies who participated in Bonfire, the meaning and power of the Aggie Spirit is understood. The Bonfire Memorial seeks to share that understanding with respect, remembrance and spirit.

The Aggie tradition of Midnight Yell Practice is a must
The night before every home football game, Aggies hold Midnight Yell at Kyle Field. It is regularly attended by more than 25,000 people.
Midnight Yell begins when the yell leaders lead the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band and current and former students into the stadium. Once there, the yell leaders lead the crowd in yells dating back to the earliest days of Texas A&M. The crowd will sing The Aggie War Hymn and listen to fables from the yell leaders, telling how the Aggies are going to beat their opponent on the field the next day.

TRAFFIC
Beware, there is a ton of traffic around the Texas A&M campus and in College Station during a football weekend. Allow a lot of time getting to and from campus because they start to block off some roads in and near campus about 3-4 hours before game time.
