Pre-game:  Weather was an issue on this day.  I got into College Station in the early afternoon. They have a pretty good bar area on the NW side of campus.  I parked there and met the other guys at the Rebel Draft House.  We sat through a pretty heavy rainstorm a couple of hours before the game.  The storm prevented us from checking out the tail gate.  I don't get the sense that the tail gate is anything special at A&M

Game Experience: A&M is loud.  They put over 100k in Kyle field and they make it difficult on the other team.  Atmosphere was exellent.  Game itself was excellent as well. Texas A&M gave Clemson everything they could handle, losing late on a failed 2pt conversion. It wasn't the game of the season, but it was the game of the week.

The half time show is among the best in college football.

Stadium: Kyle Field. It handles a large crowd as well as anywhere I've been.  It's new so it doesn't have the mystique that some other spots have but it's a great stadium to watch a game

Post Game: None of us were staying in the area after the game so there was no post game to speak of.

Overall:  This is one of the better spots in college football.  I can't put it in the highest level because the fans don't get quite as crazy as some other places (they don't drink as much honestly) and the tail gate could be a little more interesting.
