Texas A&M and Kyle Field are no strangers to tradition and apparently part of that tradition includes bats. No, not baseball bats, or even Myles Garrett masquerading as the Caped Crusader.

If you've ever visited the stadium, you'd know it's Mexican free-tailed bats. In a story published on ESPN the bats are a part of a long history at Kyle Field:
Since the stadium opened in 1927, much of its existence has also been accompanied by the presence of the bats who found shelter in the stadium, often in its upper decks. An estimated 250,000 bats lived in the crevices of Kyle Field and the stadium has long been a "bat-friendly" zone, with signs posted in the old stadium alerting fans to their presence.
Unfortunately, that tradition may be in jeopardy as the newly renovated Kyle Field may not leave a home for the bats to return to.
