EA Sports College Football 25 ranked Kyle Field at Texas A&M at No. 1 among the game’s toughest places to play rankings.
Kyle Field is one of the most unique venues in all of college football. EA College Football 25‘s ranking of the toughest places to play factors in historical stats such as home winning percentage, home game attendance, active home winning streaks, team prestige, and more.
With its famous 12th Man, Texas A&M fans make up the best home field advantage in the country and the game reflects its stature.
It’s been the home of the Aggies since 1905 but the redevelopment project 10 years ago was one for the ages.
“The redeveloped Kyle Field features an expanded seating capacity of 102,733, making it one of the five largest stadiums in collegiate football,” Texas A&M’s site reads. “The $485 million redevelopment was completed in two phases and made its debut for the 2015 season. The Aggies have welcomed more than 100,000 fans per contest to Kyle Field since the start of the 2014 season, including the stadium record of 110,633 for the Ole Miss game on Oct. 11, 2014.”
Kyle Field was named for Edwin Jackson Kyle, who served as Texas A&M’s dean of agriculture and athletic council president. The dean donated a 400 x 400-foot area of the southern edge of campus that had been assigned to him for horticultural experiments.
The all-time average attendance record for Kyle Field is 105,122, in the year of 2014. The next four years in the top five are: 2015, ‘22, ‘16 and ‘19.
Not only is the stadium impressive, Kyle Field has the 12th Man, a Texas A&M staple. So get ready to see that on your screen while gaming.
“The power of the 12th Man is demonstrated in the unity, loyalty and willingness of Aggies to serve when called to do so,” the description read. “It may be most visible on gamedays, but students also embrace this spirit through generosity and service to their peers, community and the world. Texas A&M has become known as the “Home of the 12th Man,” a name that embraces Gill’s simple gesture of service.”
EA Sports College Football 25 is a hyped product. The production started small but once it became more of a possibility, the staff increased and it was put into reality.
“And then we started to build this team and we had five people, then seven people then 12 people and finally ramped up that full production,” EA’s Christian McLeod told Andy Staples. “And I think that’s when it became very real, but to be honest with you, you know, what became real for me was when we hit that trailer. When that trailer came out a couple of weeks ago, that was the moment where we had been so far in the forest and that we haven’t been able to see everything outside of it.”
