COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - 10 days following the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington D. C and Pennsylvania, fans packed the stands of Kyle Field.
Not wearing their traditional maroon, instead a sea of red, white, and blue packed the stands, and even the sidelines"I love seeing on social media or in conversations about people and what an emotional attachment they have to that day. To break it down about just wearing a certain color T-shirt. But it was way more than that," said Nick Luton, a 2003 graduate from Texas A&M. A sea of red lined the top row of the football stadium, ringed with white around the middle, and blue lining the bottom.
This level of coordination wasn't planned months in advance, but days, spurred by a single post to TexAgs.com by Eric Bethea"What is it we can do as students, and brainstorming ideas. And I remember around midnight, I posted something like, hey, instead of a maroon out, what if we did a red, white, and blue out?" said Bethea.
