COLLEGE STATION, Tex. — Above Kyle Field’s Hall of Champions, a football-shaped, 100-yard atrium that honors past Texas A&M athletes, and through the Heritage Lounge, where black-and-white photographs and dark-wood décor conjure the city’s past as a railroad stop with a college nearby, there is a sign that cautions, “All-access credentials do not provide access.”
Past the sign is the exclusive inner domain of Kyle Field known as the Founders Club, with two bars, a baby grand piano and a chandelier that drips down three stories. Outside some of the 12 Founders Club suites, which are clustered on two levels on either side of the 50-yard line, are oil paintings of the couples to whom the suites will belong for at least the next 20 years.
