Family fighting Texas A&M for Kyle Field seats previously promised for life
Posted by Kevin McGuire on March 13, 2015, 11:07 AM EDT

In 1985 a Texas A&M family donated $60,000 to Texas A&M to fund a scholarship. In exchange, the family was promised some of the best seats in Kyle Stadium for life. Perhaps Texas A&M meant the lifespan of those particular seats.
The family of Warren Moore is suing Texas A&M University for breach of contract and misrepresentation, claiming Texas A&M took away the lifetime seats and parking as a result of a reseating program coinciding with the renovations to the football stadium. The lawsuit was filed last week. The Moore family is not alone. According toThe Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Texas A&M has also asked state District JudgeMark Pittman to adjust eight reserved seats to allow for seat reassignment. According to the Moore family, Texas A&M was promised their seat assignments "would never change for their lifetimes" and the right to park in the "best available parking at home football games" at no additional charge was included.
This all changed when the Moores were provided a letter stating they would have to become members of the Prime West Legacy Club and pay a $15,000-per-seat capital campaign gift in order to retain their once promised for life seats. That does not include the annual $2,000 price for each seat over the next 15 years. I am no legal expert, but that is a raw deal if that is the case.
Texas A&M's stadium renovations at Kyle Field are costing $450 million. Half of the money needed for the extensive renovation is being raised through seat licenses, a growing and popular trend in sports today that essentially means you pay for the right to buy tickets for your desired seats. How teams get away with this is simply amazing, but they do because those who do not pay the licenses risk losing their seats. Possibly forever. This is not just a Texas A&M thing either. It happens many places around the country in all sports.
Should the Moores have to pay extra for their seats, or is Texas A&M within their rights to change the stipulations as time and the school have evolved?

It seems to me that A&M freely entered a contract in which they gave the people seats and parking in perpetuity. A&M is not free to change the terms of a contract without the consent of the other party. If that were true, then wouldn't the other party be within their rights to change the terms themselves? Couldn't they announce that they are unhappy with the way that A&M plays football these days and demand their money back with interest? No, the contract meant what it said. A&M breached the contract and the family is entitled to damages.

It's more of a guideline than a code.

No fan base is perfect and every school has their bad apples. The difference between aggy and others is that other fan bases don't spew this ridiculous BS about "we don't lie, cheat, or tolerate those who do and we're the best fans in America", garbage. a&m fans are no better than any other fan base, yet they come across as they think they're better than everyone else, when nothing could be further from the truth. a&m fans are the biggest hypocrites of any fan base in America.

Well put. I have no problem with the 2,583 hardcore Aggies that showed up to watch their last basketball game, its the other 1 million that claim they are the best fans in the country. And the Aggies hanging their hat on their 10 year domination of the Southwest Conference at the end, when the domination was fueled by rampant cheating (see Kevin Murray). Here's another cute little saying for piggyperch - the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

"when the domination was fueled by rampant cheating"


This is one of the funniest things about aggys. Their limited success, using the word "success" lightly here, came during a period when they were cheating their azz off.


The other line that cracks me up is that they always use the "all male school" argument as a reason they've underachieved yet they are fast as hell to claim their lone 1939 title.

They are a female sport school. Of course they sucked until they let females in. What are their excuses in the past 20 or so years as to why they have not won anything good. They have just as many advantages as anyone else.
