Tickets are going fast but good seats still remain for this weekend?â„¢s baseball series between 12th-ranked Texas A&M and Oklahoma at Olsen Field. Friday and Saturday games begin at 6:30 p.m. while Sunday?â„¢s nationally-televised finale is set for 1 p.m.
Fans are strongly encouraged to purchase both reserved and general admission tickets prior to arrival at the stadium to avoid long walk-up lines. Traditionally, Parents?â„¢ Weekend crowds rank among the largest each year at Olsen.
Tickets may be purchased by visiting the Athletic Ticket Office in the north end of Kyle Field or at Reed Arena, calling at 1-888-99-AGGIE or logging on to aggieathletics.com. The office, as well as the Reed Arena window, is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Gates open 90 minutes prior to first pitch. Any remaining tickets will be available at the Olsen Field ticket windows at that time. Fans are also encouraged to check transport.tamu.edu for complete baseball parking information.
?The 12th Man is the reason why we try to play at home as much as we can,? A&M coach Rob Childress said. ?Our fans make a huge difference, and it?â„¢s no fun being in that visiting dugout?-I can tell you that from experience. I know the great support we get means a lot to our players and staff, and I can?â„¢t wait to see a packed house this weekend for this big series against OU.?
The Aggies (26-6) are in second place in the Big 12 and will put their nine-game win streak on the line Tuesday at No. 19 Houston before returning home to host the Sooners (22-10-1).
In addition, those looking to attend Sunday?â„¢s series finale can take advantage of the ?Take Me Out to the Ballgame? promotion, where kids 12 and under can receive free admission with a paid adult. There is a limit of four kids per adult and all seats are general admission. All kids in attendance will also be able to run the bases following the game.
