Other Events Held At Kyle Field
During summers, young athletes are invited to Kyle Field for football training camps. In the fall, the stadium plays host to various Texas high school football playoff games. The stadium is also home to the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets annual Parent's Weekend Review and Final Review. It is also the venue for the "Cross-Town Showdown" high school football game between the Bryan Vikings and the A&M Consolidated Tigers, arguably the most popular game of the Vikings/Tigers football season. Traditionally the last game of each team's football schedule, beginning in the 2006 season, Texas A&M University requested that the game be held earlier in the year so not to interfere with Aggie games. Kyle Field also hosts the Texas A&M University football team for the Maroon & White practice scrimmage during Parent's Weekend each spring.
On April 8, 2009, the USA FIFA World Cup Bid Committee announced Kyle Field is being considered in a list of 70 potential stadiums should the United States receive the bid to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cups.

“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”

“And knew that nature could not more refine
What it had given in a looking-glass
And held there, after the living body’s line
Has moved wherever it must move ...”

“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
