Since it opened: Texas A&M is 368–⁠167–⁠13 in home games from the 1927 season on. Our source names a game’s stadium only from 2001, so that count takes every earlier home game not marked neutral and may include a few played elsewhere.

192932,890Sources disagreeWikipedia gives 8,500. Texas A&M’s timeline: the concrete stadium with 32,890 permanent seats was complete for the 1929 Texas game; Wikipedia’s 8,500 entry repeats 1929 as its end year. (Our reading, not yet reviewed.)
