"I'm just looking forward to celebrating the Aggie Spirit. It can mean just as much to someone who built than to someone who comes to watch it burn," said Class of 2009 senior redpot, Mitch West, a finance major.
Student Bonfire will take place at "dark-thirty," which is estimated to be about 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
This year, student bonfire will be at 6824 Old Hearne Road, which is about 20 miles north of College Station.
There will be on-site parking only and it will cost $5. Admission tickets are $5 as well. Gates will open at 3 p.m. No alcohol or coolers are permitted at burn, but guests may bring lawn chairs. Drinks and bonfire shirts will be sold at the site.
Students began working on the bonfire in September with cut, and most recently with stack in early November.
A ceremony takes place right before the bonfire is lit with leaders of the bonfire.
"Bonfire has always been built by the students and for the students," West said.
