Would you say it's better, the same or worse ?
Doesn't have to be the game itself, but you can include it.

After 6 games, rate your game day experience
- Thread starter RUsince52
- Start date
I noticed more kids selling the 50-50 in the yellow lot. Aside from inconsistent rules about bringing bottled water into HPSS, no real differences.
I know, but maybe someone wants to compare their away game experience to a home game. It's just our half way point.
i'm surprised most so far are saying it's been the same.... There was much more energy in the stadium last season. From the start this year, it was dead (with some reason obviously). This season has been the worst I've experienced for atmosphere in 10 seasons
As always, our games and experience is the best kept secret in the world if we could manage to put an exciting product on the field
now they are banning bringing in outside food....with the lack of good and healthy food choices this is bad.
I've been to six. No major change in my game day experiences.
It's a special combination of arrogance and ignorance.
That was a great post that had all the right ingredients (irony, comedy, accuracy and snark). One of the best posts of the year. Definitely an @oldman87 award candidate.
Considering all of the different types I have brought games over the years I have to say this is true.
And I will also say this down below is one of those things they talked about and really liked...
Tweak if you must (add a night game version maybe?), but bring it back.
Different good and bad things as compared to last year, but about the same overall quality, experience-wise. Been having some great tailgates, even last week in the rain. Which helps.
Yellow lot has been great. No more police 4-wheeler lanes between tailgate rows. Police are there but not bothering us or anybody around us. Parking lot staff has been well organized and more flexible than in recent years, at least with respect to turning a vehicle around so as to back into the tailgate when in the front of back-to-back rows. Ingress/egress is easy and smooth as always.
Stadium food seems equally as bad as prior years, although I'm mostly not eating it anyway. Prices are what they are in stadiums. Don't much care about rules prohibiting food and drink as that's not unique to our stadium. Although I understand the complaints - to which my advice is to be a little creative and you can sneak food and water in easily.
Stadium sound-system was too loud the first couple games but that got corrected.

Noticed that as well, but didn't realize that wasn't already going on in the past. Definitely a nice touch.
It'd also be nice if they displayed the Jersey Strong logo around, its a pretty great icon that fits really well with Rutgers.
It's only a few games with this new staff. Judging a staff based on a few games is silly. There simply isn't enough data to support a conclusion either way. Trying to implement new systems, we need to wait until at least next year until any discussion can be had. Are you all really that dumb?!
Wait...what are we talking here...

Plus side:
- Some additional food options (empanadas were tasty and inexpensive)
- Like the uniforms and new secondary logo
- Like the fire when coming out of the tunnel
- Marginally successful attempts to slow down the R-U chant
- Some nice new merchandise at the stadium
Minus side:
- The new "no water bottle" policy, though I've been able to get in two games with water bottles
- I liked the old horse video
- The SoFi sing alongs
- Didn't agree with the stripe out idea
