Proud of my team for meeting the challenge of implementing a camouflage endzone pattern for the field to complement the uniforms that @AggieFootball will be wearing tomorrow. Always fun when my we get to highlight the creativity and skills of our @aggiefieldstaff team! Gig ‘em!

What a special field design our crew painted this week! One of many special things about Texas A&M is its love & support for our country! As usual, my @aggiefieldstaff team did a phenomenal job of implementing this & preparing Kyle Field for @AggieFootball to BTHO Arizona State!

[Texas A&M Fieldstaff @aggiefieldstaff]

The final and official version of this week’s field. What a privilege to play a small roll in this game to honor & recognize the many lives that were lost due to 9/11, while simultaneously commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America!

@TurnAndBurn210 @aggiefieldstaff Actually, that first logo that was released was just a rendering from our original design meetings. The current logo is what has been out there all along to match the players helmet, so no change was needed.

This view will never get old.

[Nick McKenna @aggiefieldguy]

@MattMMXI @espn There was no change. The original image released was a rendering before the field was even painted. The logo currently on the field is and always was the one out there and matches the decal on the player’s helmets for this week.

[Nick McKenna @aggiefieldguy]

@rcb05 @LivingroomSprts Correct. The first image released earlier in the week was a rendering & not the actual paint job. We had just started painting the colors on the field about the time that image got released. The intent all along was to match the midfield logo to the decal the team is wearing.

The stage is set in red, white and blue. 🇺🇸

[Texas A&M Fieldstaff @aggiefieldstaff]

All dressed up and ready for @AggieFootball to BTHOMizzSt. A few small changes to the field layout and design for this year bit we’re ready to go for another great season! Gig ‘em 👍

A work of art.

Football returns to Kyle Field tomorrow as @AggieFootball hosts @MoStateFootball. 🏈 Before kickoff, go behind the scenes with @aggiefieldguy and his team to see how they manage Latitude 36® Bermudagrass through an event schedule that goes beyond football: https://t.co/waOHjBgfVI

Been a few weeks since we did our fraize mow & sprig project at Olsen Field. As the pictures show, things are recovering & filling in nicely. First picture is from June 17, second is June 26, and the third is July 6. Progressing nicely for just under three weeks recovery!

[Texas A&M Fieldstaff @aggiefieldstaff]

@jcobb936 Update for the end of day 2 which included a second but shallower direction over the outfield again & starting on the foul territory. Infield & edges will be left as is since that’s mostly new(ish) sod. Just a little left to go tomorrow & then we start building it back.

[Nick McKenna @aggiefieldguy]

Excited to finally get the time/opportunity to fraise mow one of our fields. This process will help reset the surface back to a smooth, even plane while simultaneously cleaning out some of the excess thatch & organic matter that has accumulated over the 21 year life of the field.

[Texas A&M Fieldstaff @aggiefieldstaff]

Due to construction activities, there are no scheduled activities for Olsen Field this summer. We don’t get open opportunities like this often so we’re using this as a chance to fraise mow the field and get a nice reset on the 21-year-old outfield surface.#Cleanitout
