Scott Barnes' Message to Aggie Fans

Hello Aggie Nation,
Scott Barnes here.

Wanted to just,
stay in touch with you and let you know

how excited we are about our fall
sports.

They're competing at a very high level

in this inaugural season
in the Mountain West.

And thank you for your attendance
at soccer, volleyball and football.

As you know, football has,
set some records in terms of season ticket

base over 10,000 now, as well as back
to back to back, capacity crowds.

So, thank you for that.

We appreciate that and are excited
that we have some more

home games left in this
fall sports season coming up.

So we hope to see you back there.

I'd like to take the opportunity as well
to maybe squelch,

a rumor or two and as well,
tell you about, some future planning.

There's been talk about,
potential funding and,

commencement of stadium renovations
at Romney Stadium...

That is not true.

But I will tell you this,
that as we look to the future and

look at our vision statement for football,
understanding that we want to be,

Uh...
at the top of the mountain West

and beyond,
we do need to address stadium renovations.

At this point, what we have done
is contracted with CSL, to help us conduct

a feasibility study to determine
the potential for stadium renovations.

Part of that survey will be coming out
November 4th.

You'll see that, we would hope
that you would engage in that survey

process, this, eight to ten minute survey
that'll help us determine,

your preference for premium seating
in Romney stadium.

This survey instrument
will be part of a larger

market study to determine our ability
to create a funding model,

for potential renovations
at Romney Stadium.

So I hope you'll join us.
Again, November 4th.

That survey, instrument will come to you
via email.

We're also excited about, winter sports,
as you know,

we will face one of the best home
schedules in our history

in men's basketball, coming up,
both non-conference and conference.

We're excited.

Season tickets still on sale.

If you haven't, purchased yours yet,
please do.

Also want you to know how excited we are
about the progress

of the Estes Center.

The Estes Center
is, on track to open in April.

It's a beautiful practice
venue for men and women's basketball

and a competitive volleyball venue.

Couldn't be more excited about,
what that will bring to our student

athletes and fans.

Want to end this by telling you.

Thank you for getting us to where we are.

You have been tremendous fans,
as shown by your attendance at our events.

Keep it up.

Let's get ready for some more success.

Go, Aggies!
