Biggest upgrades? Any issues? Just curious to how it went. Pumped up for you guys.
Full disclosure, I'm thinking about making the trek this year.
If you want the full list of complaints, head over here to our gripe thread:

If you don't want to read all that, the biggest issues are concessions (think they can iron that out, just incredibly slow service), traffic flow for people, restrooms are only located on the ground floor (sucks for people in wheelchairs and those on the upper deck).
Biggest upgrades is you REALLY feel closer to the field than before. That was pretty awesome. Really felt like there's not a single bad seat in the house with how much closer the stands are and how they are angled towards the field.
Another upgrade is the sound system and lighting. Sound system has some kinks to work out, but having the light show at halftime was pretty sweet. Gone are the lights that take hours to turn on.
I really like how much the field seems to pop at night. Much more vibrant now.
Fan noise is upgraded too, the concrete used to absorb a lot, and now that we are in aluminum bleachers stomping is a nice way to add to the noise.
Hope you make the trip.
