Hands down one of the best sport experiences of my life. The pre-game show is unmatched and the atmosphere was amazing today.

Stick around and enjoy the new Auburn night life if you can.

If you can, or anyone that attended, how were concessions and getting in/out?

Getting out wasn't bad. Concessions were priced high but what you'd expect.. a drink was $5 pretzel was $5

It was a great crowd for a bad opponent.
I know that it being the debut of Freeze probably brought out more people, but if that atmosphere holds (and ramps up for the big games like it does) we will have a great home field advantage this year.

Worst lines I've ever seen in the upper deck in 20+ years.
Also, the new DJ playing music all the way to the kick off sucks. Needs to stop when the ball is teed, otherwise there's very little "War eagle, hey!" Just some shitty house music with the kids dancing. I realize it's for the children, but you've got to respect the kickoff war eagle.
Get off my lawn.

Concessions on the main concourse were the best in my 40 years of going to games.
More choices (especially liked the huge smart waters) and the self checkout areas.
I was in and out quickly. It’s been a long time since I complimented our food/drink part of the game day experience.

In general I thought it was the most organized Game Day I have attended and that's not sunshine pumping.
The Freeze Warning on the Jumbotron is outstanding!

Agreed fully.

Concessions in the uppers were bad but the grab and go concessions were a win. They were much faster than the normal ones, most people just didn’t know about it since there was only one all way at the end.
Getting in was easy. We got there around 10:00. Getting out was also easy. We left after the long Cobb TD.

I thought about you, Big Tastey, last night.
I was watching the news and apparantly the parking and access within the blocks surrounding Bryant-Denny was restricted due to "safety concerns" which was similar language to whatever you were talking about.
If the souvenier is like the real deal then we need to get in on this. There has to be a market for this.Dozens!

I think the way we did sound has been fine, the music selection in the past has been pretty darn good if you ask me, I don't think the DJ really added anything to the atmosphere. He seemed to constantly interrupt either the band or the cheerleaders which I was afraid of, it's hard to coordinate who has that control already. Also no one knows who the DJ is or he/she wasn't introduced.
Concessions apparently the signage still indicated that some items in the normal lines were being sold there that wasn't any longer and they were sent to the fast pick up areas after waiting a long time, workers were yelling that out constantly.
Concerns for the fast pickup, people couldn't see what was being sold so they had to look over the barrier constantly to see if they wanted to wait. Items are pick up on your own then pay at the front, so the coolers when drinks run out they replace them with warm ones that don't get down to cold quick enough when you get to them.

My only complaint on the DJ was them playing music all the way up to the kick every kickoff which killed the “War Eagle, Hey!” on almost every kick.

Band > DJ.
My kid said the DJ booth blocked the field so they couldn't see anything inside of the 10 yd line. Had to turn and watch it on the jumbotron when it was in the redzone of the student section. Bad layout.

Concessions were a shite show where I was.
Grab and go had a long line. Two cashiers. A curtain so you could go see anything without peaking over.
The main concession near me had nothing but drinks and nachos. The signs were not correct. Cashier was having to yell at folks in line about going somewhere else.
Getting in and out was fine. The people manning the barricades don't know what they are doing though. Caused slight problems on people doing UTurns and not being allowed in spots despite signs

Dj playing the music up to the kick off was the biggest gripe
Getting in and out was no issue at all.
And they didnt display the words to God Bless America on the electronic banner and/or scoreboard.
Wish they would bring back the Aubie skits and let the band and cheerleaders engage more. The DJ and rap scene gets old quick

I sure hope somebody from the Athletic Dept reads this forum! DJ, smeejay. I agree with everyone else, kickoffs are for a great War Eagle! In fact, Jordan-Hare is known for loud crowd noise, not it's speaker system.
Tribute music to Buffet was way better than whatever that staccato beeping/squawking sounds blaring after almost every play.

Why the HELL do we need a DJ at a friggin' football game?!
If I want to listen to music it is not in a stadium while I am trying to watch a football game.
