Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

first game in HS

What is with the extra point team?
I've never seen weather like that in any stadium I've been in.
I thought the new stadium was OK. The seats down in the lower bowl would be great view. Overall, there is way too much in the way of flashing lights, bangs, pops, an infinity of McDonalds signs flashing on and off, and other distractions too numerous to mention coming from the high-tech gadgetry in the stadium. Turn off the fucking javascript in the stadium and let it play out like a football game. The actual scoreboard with stats is tiny and off to the side, as if not very important. It took me about until halftime to figure out how many time outs left.

    It reminds me of safeco field with all the distractions they throw at you to keep your ADHD mind occupied. It's like a huge advertisement-laden pinball machine.

    The stats board is at least the same size as it was before. Where the hell do you want them to put it, midfield? If you can't figure out how many timeouts each team has left, I can't help you. I do agree that the ribbon boards are distracting at times.

    Marinerization is always special.

    That looks like the Stanford game from 2010.

    The use of the jumbotron is no good either. Anytime there is a questionable call, we don't see a replay, we see some jackass in the crowd acting funny for the camera.

    They basically need to tone down the advertising-pinball-machine aspect of the stadium. The scoreboard needs to be bigger. It looks like a tiny baseball scoreboard on the north overhang. Overall there is waaaay to much high tech shit going on and off all the time. I go to a football game to get away from high tech. Essentially football is very low-tech, still using chains to measure and such.

    It would be a great stadium if they removed most of the ADHD distraction gadgetry.

    This^ I can't stand it. It is literally nonstop ad changes and is brutally distracting.

    The food situation is atrocious. The new stadium certainly hasn't brought a tear to my eye.

    The batman, yoda, and Rocky 4th quarter montage should never appear in any public event. That is something strung together in your mom's basement it is the worst video in sports history.

    I know, I know I am an asshole because I don't think the remodel mind blowing and not tear worthy. They could play in memorial stadium, if they just continue winning games.
