===12th Man TV=== During the 2006 offseason, the older [[Jumbotron]] was removed and replaced by a {{convert|3954|sqft|m2|adj=on}} [[Mitsubishi]] Diamond Vision enhanced resolution [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] videoboard in the south end zone, at the time the second largest in college athletics and one of the ten largest in the world. The Texas A&M Athletic Department has dubbed the new screen "12th Man TV", although some fans refer to it as the "Gigatron".<ref name="12th Man TV PR">{{cite web|title=Lights, Camera, Action: Introducing 12th Man TV|url=http://www.aggieathletics.com/pressRelease.php?PRID=11654|work=Official Website of Texas A&M Athletics|access-date=September 27, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060918092937/http://www.aggieathletics.com/pressRelease.php?PRID=11654|archive-date=September 18, 2006}}</ref> The {{convert|110|ft|m|-tall|adj=mid}} structure contains 590,000 pixels on 154 video panels with a screen size of {{convert|74|by|54|ft|abbr=on}}. The athletic department also updated the media equipment to allow production and broadcast of enhanced definition video to the screen. This addition to Kyle Field was accompanied by LED ribbon boards installed along the facade of the second deck encircling the stadium. At {{convert|1130|ft}}, it is the second-longest ribbon board in collegiate sports and second worldwide only to [[Hard Rock Stadium]] in [[Miami]].<ref name="12th Man TV PR"/> In conjunction with this project, additional upgrades included video board upgrades to [[Reed Arena]] and [[Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park|Olsen Field]]. Unveiled in September 2014, an LED videoboard that is 47 by 163 feet ({{convert|7661|ft2||disp=sqbr}}) was installed at the south end zone above the new seating, remained as the largest in college athletics until [[Auburn Tigers football|Auburn]] unveiled a 57-by-190-foot, {{convert|10830|ft2||adj=on}} LED videoboard at [[Jordan-Hare Stadium|Jordan–Hare Stadium]] which was completed in August 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/02/texas-ams-kyle-field-will-be-home-of-largest-video-board-in-collegiate-sports.html/ |title=Texas A&M's Kyle Field is the home to largest video board in collegiate sports |access-date=July 16, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140710233813/http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/02/texas-ams-kyle-field-will-be-home-of-largest-video-board-in-collegiate-sports.html/ |archive-date=July 10, 2014}}</ref>
