That is my understanding. With the additional bleachers they added, it will likely be more crowded.
I would also consider getting there early and getting Section 12 tickets.

Do you just walk up there with some lawn chairs and find an open spot?
Was thinking about doing that for Arkansas since the ticket prices are so high

I know I have seen people buy them closer to game time, but that weekend may be the exception.

I do not know, but I am sure someone does.
I know they send students that way once GA is full in the stadium.

Yep… I'd set up as far back to the rec as possible. Also some sort of raised platform would give you the best viewing. We're debating setting up a cinder block wood platform situation for regionals. Also, bathrooms just inside the rec are real nice.
Wish we could go back to the old days and park back there for optimal viewing…

Are you able to bring a cooler of beer and/or a grill back there?

Cooler of beer? Yes.
Grill? Maybe… give it a shot and see if someone stops you.
Those days with trucks and giant platforms with couches were the days and such a cool atmosphere.jah003 said:HoustonAg2106 said:

Have you done this before? Doesn't the NCAA (because they hate fun) make us close this area off during the postseason?
Pretty sure I'd give a big middle finger to the NCAA if they did this. Say it's not a part of the baseball facility and the university will not close the lot. If it's sold out (which it would be) they aren't missing out on ticket sales by people standing out there.RED AG 98 said:

Not in the postseason, no. Not really sure if they can close off a parking lot if it's not a part of the stadium… but I guess we'll see.RED AG 98 said:

I'm guessing Schloss will do everything in his power to keep it open, but I'm not sure how much power he has.
I recall this also, but question how/why the ncaa would have jurisdiction.Quote:

I don't think they can physically block that road because it's a fire lane...but I may be wrong.RED AG 98 said:jah003 said:Not in the postseason, no. Not really sure if they can close off a parking lot if it's not a part of the stadium… but I guess we'll see.RED AG 98 said:

You may be right but I don't think it's Schloss' call at all. The NCAA has always made us shut this down during postseason; I wouldn't expect this year to be any different.

Baseball is one of the few sports postseasons actually owned & run by the NCAA. They negotiate and award the host sites. Those games are not "A&M" games, they're NCAA games. Don't follow their rules and they have the ability to move the games. ...or more realistically, don't follow the rules and you won't be awarded any future games. That's the rub.BoerneGator said:I recall this also, but question how/why the ncaa would have jurisdiction.Quote:

The NCAA won't allow unticketed (i.e. unpaying) spectators at regionals. If someone stood out in Aggie Alley in '22, I would guess they only got away with it because there weren't more of them. In the late 90s, when there would regularly be over a thousand (sometimes two thousand) in Aggie Alley, it sat empty during regionals.
To be clear, I have no idea what their current rules were.

Guys this is a non issue, I just went back to the 2022 regional and there were a lot of people in Aggie Alley, the NCAA allowed it and should allow it this year too
Has to be some photos of '99 out there somewhere doesn't there? I bet Wally and Dave have photos.Gyles Marrett said:Those days with trucks and giant platforms with couches were the days and such a cool atmosphere.jah003 said:HoustonAg2106 said:

The last few series of the '99 season were... whooo. Fun, boisterous, out of control. Aggie Alley extended from the far N end of the Rec parking lot all the way to Olsen. 10k+ vs. Texas probably. 5k of which had no chance, or intention, of being able to see the game.
Sometimes, it's not about the rule book, but who the NCAA appoints as tournament director (usually a retired coach, or coach who isn't in the tournament). Back in the day, we always seemed to draw guys who were sticklers for every rule and regulation. It may be that the tournament directors in 2022 just didn't make an issue of it.Sean98 said:To be clear, I have no idea what their current rules were.

If the NCAA allows it or ignores it (seems like they must have in '22) then have at it. If they look at our recent games with a good number of people out there and they might make a decent decision unless they are able to monetize it.
