Texas A&M Sports Musuem

Texas A&M University  has winning tradition, especially of late, in athletics.  A&M’s titles so far this year include: Men's Outdoor Track & Field - National Champions 2011, Women's Outdoor Track & Field - National Champions 2011, Women's Basketball - National Champions 2011, Men's Tennis Doubles- National Champions 2011, and Equestrian - Western Team National Champions 2011. A&M is bringing in the trophies. So to highlight the athletic program I thought I would tell you about the Texas A&M Sports Museum that is right around the corner from the Rudder Jessup B&B.

I came to A&M as a girl who was raised in an Aggie family never even imagining going to another school, but I think that even if I wasn’t raised an Aggie this school would’ve drawn me in with its homey atmosphere, friendly demeanor, and rich traditions. This museum highlights those things. It will help you see that nothing beats the excitement of standing amidst the 12^th Man in Kyle Field. It will give you a respect for the revelry of the historic Aggie Bonfire, and it will bring to life the resounding yells of the student body.

Fittingly, the museum is located in the Bernard C. Richardson Zone at Kyle Field. Using photos, film, artifacts, and computer databases for interactive displays, this museum presents the story of A&M’s men’s and women’s varsity sports. Plus this experience is free of charge for all visitors to campus.

The Texas A&M Sports Museum has the distinction of being the nation's only all-sports museum funded primarily by former athletes.

When visitors come into the "Zone" they will enter a large lobby area, common to both the museum and the 12th Man Foundation, which features rotating exhibits focusing on sports at Texas A&M University. From there, visitors can enter the museum. The Spirit of Aggieland is the thing they see upon entering. This includes a donor wall and introductory exhibits to the Sports Museum. Visitors will experience several different exhibits in the Museum including the Timewall, Legends Gallery, Sport-by-Sport Perimeter Displays, and Interactive Computers.
