I’ve had a pretty consistent take for over a decade now.
I wouldn’t sink too much money into JHS itself. Ultimately, it’s a large stadium that gets used about 10 times a year. I have no problem with widening/upgrading seating options or even adding more boxes even if it reduces capacity a bit.
Increase the student section, pour money into the restrooms, general concessions, and overall flow of the space. But I’d spend money outside of the stadium to make the rest of the Gameday experience better/easier.
I’d listen to the long time donors that have been coming for decades to see what they need because that’s probably a better demographic to cater toward than the fan that wants the stadium to feel like their living room

Upgrade the outside of the stadium, Beer/alcohol sales, that is about it for me.
After going to Neyland last year, I had a whole new appreciation for Jordan Hare.

Parking and traffic flow could be better.

Bit of a joke. But it does appear the old girl is coming down.

Last game I went to was vs the rednecks of miss st in 2019 bc my kid wanted to go to a game. JayboTron is a big dumb distraction from the game. Scale it down or at least turn the volume down from 'you can feel it in your fillings'. The press box change makes no sense.
Don't make it to Auburn much for games bc there's just too many other games I want to watch all day Saturdays in the fall.

That and add backs to the seats for me.

You can rent those for each game

And they are terrible.
Sports is an entertainment experience now. People don't want to pay 150+ for a bench, rented seat and no cup holder. Time to upgrade or perish.

JayboTron is a big dumb distraction from the game.
I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. It distracts from the game, the band, the conversation with fellow fans. Lower the volume and quit playing music up until the kicker moves toward the ball. I like hearing the War Eagle roar!!!
Improve JH? Widen the ramps (A&M, LSU wide)! Better restrooms and concessions on every level.
Also, treat all paying fans the same. Have been an Upperdecker for ages and the Atheletic Dept does not care a wink about UpperD's. Can't rent "new" cushion seats for the season - get the 2005, split seat ones. No mirrors in ladies toilets. And afew other things.

This question was asked on another board and I will post some of my answer here.
I'm in the minority, but I don't have a problem with Jordan-Hare. I don't go to many games now, but if I do, I buy a water and stand on the NW corner ramp. I'm there to watch the game, not worry about the quality of the hot dogs or how "the experience" compares to the newest NFL facility.
But that's beside the point. Changes will occur and with that in mind, put seats in the lower bowl, rip out the North Endzone, or at least the top half of it and build a covered concourse/pavilion that extends over the parking/service area underneath and back toward Haley Center. Include cooling fans/heaters, a food court, tables, chairs, TVs and so on. Align it so you can still walk around the inner concourse of the stadium (one of Jordan-Hare's unique features) and place additional seating/booths on top that have balconies. You could use the pavilion area as a food court year around, have smaller events there, maybe even rent it out for weddings.

There are 87,000 people in the stadium.
The bathrooms are naturally going to be nasty so don’t plan on taking a shite.
The “upgrade the bathrooms” type are hilarious. People are still going to piss on the floors and all over the walls. If you have to use the bathroom you just need to say your hailmarys, close your nose, and then dive right in.
I actually like the JayboTron so don’t tear it down. The sweet moments of 2017 when our crowd went viral doesn’t happen without that thAUng.

First time I went to a game at LSU I rode the escalator to the upper deck. That would be nice at AU
Someone mentioned real seats. I get really frustrated when 40 people squeeze into a bleacher row designed for 34. Tell your friend to go stand.
Going to the bathroom is akin to swimming upstream through the corridor.

I would rip all the bleachers out and put in chair backs with cup holders and make sure there is room to sit...that is if I went to games often.
Last time I went, I enjoyed the tailgating much more than cramming into a seat.
