Another random observation -- the seats in the club sections are amazing. They have 3 inches of padding. After 4-5 hours of sitting there, my butt wasn't numb. Kudos to Jerry on this added expense.
And the stadium announcer is terrible. He screwed up constantly. He even called Felix "Julius Jones" at one point. He was calling names that weren't even playing in the game. At one point, it appeared like he had to look up Ware's name. It was something like "tackle by #94...........long pause................DeMarcus Ware."
Yes that is great with the club seats, nice leather padded seats.
Jody Dean, from 98.7 FM is the new PA guy. And yes, he was pretty bad. But it was the 1st game.
He replaced George Dunham from The Ticket. Seeing how they switched the flagship radio station from the ticket to the fan. I could see that one happening.
George mentioned that on the radio a few days ago. He said he may be a good thing he is not the PA guy. Because he's done it for the last 11 years, and no playoff wins. So now the jinx is over. :laugh2:
I'm in the Silver Club level. Awesome! Except I was very dissapointed with the food selection. I was told there would be a dining area for before and after the game. There was not. It was standup tables. On the season ticket holder open huse, they said they would be putting in chairs. And the food selection sucked. We had to go down to level 200 or 100 to search for different options. 1st time we went down, they let us walk right through, didn't even check for tickets. The 2nd time we went down, they wouldn't let us in. Said we had to go to the endzone section.
Maybe the had an ego trip and power thing going on. But I will be putting in a complaint on this. Or they better get a better selection in my area othr than a $13 hamburger or $8.50 hot dog. I would have paid the price if that's what I wanted. But they need more options, or get their crap straight on letting us into other areas.
Overall great stadium and experience. Parked in lot 11, took 5 minutes or so to get to our gate. Traffic leaving really not bad at all. Took be 30 minutes to get home.
As other said, the scoreboard, down & distance was hard to locate and see. They didn't keep it up on the video board all the time either.
I managed to watch the action on the fiels the majority of the time. Watched the instant repalys, and when they showed the cheerleaders on the screen.
One thing I thought was bad, unless they do something different. At Texas Stadium they had the big blowup helmet. At gametime introduction, the cheerleaders came out and the players as introduced ran between them. This helped the crowd get pumped up. Now no helmet, cheerleaders came out, formed a v shape, and the players entered from the sidelines. Didn't seem as exciting. But it was a preseason game.
I can see when it is a real game and a full house, this can be a very loud stadium. Even when half full 30 minutes before the game started, you could tell how loud it could possibly be.
