I'm still not a fan of how the stands in the stadium are lit up with the new light setup, or not lit up I guess I should say.

The field itself looks fine, but the stands are in mostly darkness. This year I guess it doesn't matter that much since the stadium is mostly empty anyway, but it's strange to be at a game and the stands to be so dark and it looks even weirder on tv. It's like a lit up field floating in a sea of darkness and you can't see the crowd at all.

I didn’t really notice a problem, but it might have been a little dark. I’ll have to look back through the pictures.

It kind of throws me off too when the stadium goes dark when we score. But I haven't been to a game since they started that.

It's actually kind-of cool in person.

I can't stand the dimming/flashing of the lights after a touchdown. Mostly because I can't see the celebration of the guys.

They have complete control of those lights. Can't they just blink them on and off for the rest of the stadium, but keep them bright in the end zone where we scored?

I found the lights a more enjoyable experience when at the game, than while watching it on TV.

The rotating strobe light effect they do before kickoffs, gives the players on the field a sort of "miniature figures" look.

At home, it creates a "is my TV going out" situation whenever a touchdown happens.

No doubt, in person they're amazing.

I just wish they would go really bright right after a score instead of really dark, because it sort of loses the desired effect on TV.
