I do agree that people have rosy retrospection bias for most things in their past and don't realize "the good ol' days" are actually right now.
But I also believe college football was a better experience 30 years ago, at least in person. There wasn't really any piped in music. No flashing LEDs. No silly jumbotron games. Nobody on their phones. Fewer things were available to detract from the game itself.
There are some aspects that are better today, like you mentioned. Stadiums are nicer for the most part. Pee troughs are going away. I would say the at-home experience has improved too: We have more games available to watch and they're in high def. We can record them and skip commercials.
