Remember when Aggie Stadium didn't have end zone seats?
Remember when we could bring coolers into Aggie Stadium and nobody would even look inside them? I used to bring coolers chock full of beer as a freshman and sophomore back in the early 90s.
Remember when you could run all the way through Scott Hall A, B, and C to escape the authorities?
Remember mobile snacks?

I thought Aggie Stadium always had south endzone seats, but the stadium seats weren't connected in a horseshoe.......
When you say driving your car all the way through campus, what exactly do you mean?
---I remember when Laurel Street wasn't cut off between Market and Lindsay. Are you referring to this or another way by which you could drive completely through campus.
.....just asking these questions for my curiosity.....

There was literally a parade of traffic taking the right turn at Blueford to enter campus, going past the bookstore and Scott Hall on Laurel, taking a right turn at Cooper, going all the way past the Union and Moore Gym, taking another right at Corbett, going past the Animal Science building on Benbow, and then taking a right turn on Market to start the whole cycle again.
Folks did that all night during Homecoming.

Remember when you could run all the way through Scott Hall A, B, and C to escape the authorities? Again, for my curiosity.......you're telling me you could run all the way through Scott A, B and C on one floor without ever having to go outside and coming back in as you head into the next section? |

Duhhh, it did have endzone seats. I can't believe I forgot that. From my freshman year on I used to tell folks to meet me "at the top of the end." The "U" portion wasn't connected, just like y'all said. How I'ma start a "y'all remember when" thread and then go make stuff up? Lol.
nss, my first year (1990) there wasn't any division between the scott sections. They walled them up my sophomore year. That's how some RA's got two awkward rooms instead of one room.
Y'all remember when the doors to Scott wouldn't close all the way and you could just walk right in anytime of the day or night?

Yes, NHSS, you could walk from the Laurel St. entrance to Scott Hall all the way (5 wings) to the entrance/exit at the parking lot to Moore Gym without going through a single door. Before the campus made great strides, you could drive on Laurel from Carver Hall to Market St.

Laurel wasn’t cut off when I was there either (92-96).....neither was Bluford. There was a traffic light at the Laurel/Bluford intersection.
I can only imagine how things looked back in the 60s-70s....

So you were there when there were only pay phones in the hallways and no phones in the rooms?

i remember when you could buy a "bologna and cheese" whopper for $1 and an "around da world" soda from the student union snack bar. the "bologna and cheese" whopper was by far the most popular sandwich sold in the snack bar when i was an undergrad, that's what you bought when you got the "muchies" at night after the cafe had closed...  |

The stadium was fenced in at the South end, and shortly thereafter the Bryan foundation donated money to build a cinder block wall to enclose the field. After accumulating enough funds, the school constructed the new section with seats.
