Considering all, and being in good shape.... Auburn has killed the game day experience with its continued march toward maximizing profit margins. Those that attended in the 90’s through 2003 understand exactly what I mean when compared to today’s experience. The product is mediocre and I’ve lost interest. Add in the pandemic exposure risk and it is a hard no.

Totally disagree. Literally everything is better than it was then with the exception of a few too many white tents.
I will say the onset of the 70 inch HD flatscreen has made the cost benefit analysis of going to the game more balanced, but the gameday experience is as good as ever.

Are there things I'd change? Yes. Among them:
Reducing the piped in music and letting the band play more.
Change up the AUMB pregame show and bring back the alma mater. I know Jacobs was insistent on having God Bless America played, but after nearly 20 years I think it can be removed.
Go back to having the AUMB sections have warmups where folks can watch them. Drumline used to have pretty big crowds around watching them do warmups/cadences when they would be down by where the recruit entrance is now.
Show more live sports pregame.I remember in the late 90s/early 2000s getting in for late October night games and seeing NLCS/ALCS games on the jumbotron.
Things I do like:
Better, more imaginative, halftime shows.
Out of town scores (I loved in the old days when they were announced over the PA, but with phones these days you can't go back to that)
Pregame/rev-up videos have been getting better in production value.
Food choices inside the stadium have gotten a lot better.
