ESPN's College GameDay will originate from Texas A&M's Kyle Field as the Aggie football team plays host to the No. 1-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, Nov. 11. The hour-long show begins at 10 a.m. central with host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit.
In cooperation with ESPN, the Texas A&M athletic department will open the gates at Kyle Field at 9 a.m. for the 12 noon kickoff. The first 2,000 fans with game tickets will be admitted to the south end zone bleachers if they would like to bring signs inside Kyle Field. The bleacher area is the only location signs will be allowed, and after the ESPN show concludes, the signs will be collected as fans return to their respective seats.
The Texas A&M student body is encouraged to wear maroon and come early as the backdrop for the ESPN set will be the student side of Kyle Field with "Welcome to Aggieland, Home of the 12th Man" in the background.
The Corps of Cadets will have a march-in beginning at 10 a.m. and the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band will practice its halftime routine after the initial march-in. The Corps will also conduct march-in at the regular time, one hour before kickoff.
Fans in the stadium will be able to interact with the Gameday broadcast, as it will be televised with complete sound and video on the Jumbotron.
After ESPN GameDay concludes at 11 a.m., the Kyle Field rules and regulations regarding signs will be enforced.
