Kyle Field, Football stadium in College Station, United States
Kyle Field is a stadium in College Station, Texas, where the playing surface consists of Tifway 419 Bermudagrass and the seating tiers accommodate more than one hundred thousand spectators. The structure rises across multiple levels with rows of seats wrapping around the rectangular field, and video boards stand at both ends alongside lighting towers along the sidelines.
Edwin Jackson Kyle created the original athletic ground in 1904 by funding wooden seating for five hundred people from his own resources. The stadium underwent multiple expansions and renovations across the decades, with the most recent work in the early 2010s significantly increasing capacity and transforming the entire appearance.
On this playing field the entire student section stands throughout each match to embody the tradition of the extra player, which continues from a winter day in 1922. Visitors experience an environment where thousands sing together and support the team while remaining on their feet until the final whistle.
Visitors reach the venue through several entry gates distributed around the outer ring, each leading to different seating sectors. On match days it helps to arrive early and follow signage toward designated parking areas, as crowds are considerable.
At the northern end of the playing field lie several burial sites for former mascots named Reveille, laid to rest with military honors and positioned so their gaze remains on the scoreboard. These resting places recall the close bond between the animal and the community it represented.
