Auburn can't even "little brother" properly either.
If anything, Auburn built theirs too big and people that buy tickets in that area of the stadium are going to complain about it for years to come.

First off, you really, really need to get over yourself.
Next, you need to check your crimson-colored glasses at the door. quote:
Bama's upperdecks are closer to the field than most stadium's lower bowls.
Your end zone upper decks hang out over the sidewalks outside the stadium by a good bit. Your sidelines are at least 30 yards further from the field at the fifty yard line than Tiger Stadium.
With very few exceptions in the lower bowl end zones, every seat in BDS is further away from the field than the same seat in Tiger Stadium. The sidelines, the sideline upper decks, the end zone upper decks. All of them are farther way than the same seats in the same area at Tiger Stadium.
Because the sidelines at Tiger Stadium are straight, The sidelines at BDS have some of the most exaggerated curves in any stadium in the country.
BDS
Tiger Stadium
BDS End Zone Upper Deck
Tiger Stadium End Zone Upper Deck
BDS Sideline Upper Deck
Tiger Stadium Sideline Upper Deck
To sum up, only the end zones seats at BDS are comparable to the end zone seats at Tiger Stadium.
Every other seat in BDS is much farther away from the field than the same seats would be in Tiger Stadium. The farthest seat from the field at BDS is two-three times as far away as the farthest seat from the field in Tiger Stadium.
TLDR: Tiger Stadium seats closer, BDS seats farther.
Deal with it.

Hopefully this dick measuring contest will stop when the new season starts.

I like Alabamas 4 scoreboard layout. It works well as you have a good view of any replay wherever you are.

Congrats on your layaway big screen. Lemme guess..Aaron's? BDS is an aesthetic beauty of an arena. Jerdan Hare is a step up from Legion Field.

Very proud to have so many incredible facilities in this conference to showcase our campuses and student athletes to the rest of the country.

I actually like the screen layout at BD a bunch, only one that's better is Moo States monsters at both ends.
Just right

It's ads.
Looks to me the ads are on the bottom, white on gray. Those advertisements on the far right and left, I think that may be just a part of the screen. Which if that's the case, then this board was tastefully put together.
PS, nearly everybody has ads on their boards these days, so no throwing stones while sitting in your glass house, yo.

Not really. They aren't that steep.
Tiger Stadium and Tennessee are by far the steepest upper decks I've been in.

I like having the game stats on the side. They'll probably cycle through scores from other games as well. Then go fullscreen for replays. That's what they did with the old one.
Everyone does it.

After looking at the pictures you posted, I don't think you really know how far 30 yards is. Yes, LSU's 50 yard line seats are much closer that at BDS, but 30 yards is laughable.

So you're saying you've never been in the upper decks at BDS then. Because those are steeper, and you can see it from these pics...
BDS
Tiger Stadium
I'm not even saying it's a bad thing. But the upper decks at BDS are obviously steeper.
