In 2009, A&M University received a 12-foot-tall bronze replica of the Aggie Ring. It is on Haynes Ring Plaza, behind the Alumni Center. The ring is a replica of the actual Aggie Ring of Harold J. "Bill" Haynes, namesake of the plaza. The seal at the top of the ring bears his class year, 1946, and there's a time capsule inside to be opened in 2046.
