Stadiums comparisons?

Was not impressed with AT&T.

But will mention one feature that I LOVED…. Instead of scanning tickets at stadium entrance they scanned tickets at a checkpoint farther up so you could just walk into the doors of AT&T whenever you were ready. Loved that feature and imagine that is going i be the norm in the future
 
Viewpoints Hardrock. I've sat in just about every section since we moved to HRS, and after refurbishment, every seat is close. However, it is not one of these new mega stadiums with an entertainment district (Texas Live was awesome).

Amenities and size are good, but I could not imagine sitting anywhere above the 200 sections. Again, Texas Live before and after the game was a great attribute from a gameday experience standpoint.

Overall, if you are going to a game to actually watch the game, HRS by a mile. If you like to be entertained and are there because it's an event, AT&T.
 
It was neat you can order your food and drink via qr code.

Parking seemed much much smoother vs hard rock.

I agree I didn't like how it didn't have stats or ball on what yardline etc except for both ends.

It was pretty cold imo!

Wider selection on beers I liked.

Man I loved the OB. I'm a purist and don't care about fancy concessions and club levels and jumbotrons and ****. It seems like all that stuff was for guys' dates they brought to the game. I could have done without the overflowing urinals and them occasionally running out of water (!) in 90 degree heat but it was part of the charm. But that stadium was antiquated 20 years before they tour it down and the city LOLd at the price tag to refurbish it into the modern era. It was still the greatest place on earth to watch a game.

It’s not really debatable imo, jerryworld is world class. It’s probably the best stadium in America, and since we won our biggest game in 20+ years in that building I’m doubling down on that take.
 
Hardrock but having Loews Hotel next to AT&T was dope

The fog of history will always be present. People loved the OB because of the great games they saw there, but let's be honest. For every legendary game, there were dozens of crap games, where we all wondered "Am I going to die in here, because it's miserably hot, they ran out of water by halftime and the Presidente on offer is **** warm". I don't miss those games where you knew that if you didn't prepare your body before hand(We used to drink pickle juice & Gatorade before heading to games, because dehydration was the worst thing that could happen), you were in for misery.

I voted for the OB to be renovated, but thanks to the crooked politicians in Miami, that never happened. It is what it is. That said, enjoying modern amenities including shade, good concessions and working restrooms isn't "Soft", it's being an intelligent consumer.

Yea I realize it's nostalgia for seeing great games there. And I realize it was a dump even by 1980s standards. But it was our dump. And I miss her.
