I had let my season tickets go four season ago. I was coming off a divorce and had to greatly reduce my costs. I still took my dad to one game last year, and it was the unveiling of the ROH. I figured since we had been season ticket holders for the first 20 years of the stadium, it made sense to see that and being a prime time game and all...
I was FLOORED at the difference in the stadium graphics, sound (it was actually too loud! Sign of old age!), pyrotechnics, etc. You can argue that it was like putting lipstick on a pig, but I actually always liked the overall stadium experience. Great sight lines, TONS of urinals (some old stadiums you lost about a quarter of football if you had to take a piss), big seats, cup holders, etc. It was just a little boring. Not flashy like most things today. Huge change. And that place was rocking as they came back to beat the Jags in primetime.
Now that EVERY SEAT is sold out to season ticket holders (I believe for the first time ever?), that place will be a HUGE home field advantage.
Another reason we could be the toughest team in the AFC to beat. We actually are a very loud stadium for other teams to play
in now unlike seasons in the past. Our fans are pumped right now with Burrow and this team Zac, Lou and the FO put together.
