Displaced Texas A&M Bats Seeking New Home

Kyle Field

The recreation center natatorium at Texas A&M University has been closed since April 6 while crews work to remove hundreds of migratory bats that have taken up residence after being displaced by renovations at Kyle Field. 

An estimated 250,000 bats called Kyle Field home for a portion of the year until the 2014. Following the bat’s annual migration to Mexico for the winter, however, construction of the Kyle Field’s $485 million kicked off, starting with the implosion of the stadium’s west side. Anticipating the bats’ return this spring, crews put up nets to prevent them from taking up residence elsewhere on the stadium site, leaving the displaced bats to seek other quarters.
