We ate downtown and went out to catch the trolley around 4:30. There was a line but we only had to wait about 15-20 minutes for one to arrive. I imagine they know more buses will need to be in the rotation as the popularity of this services increases.
I hardly ever get into the stadium before kick-off because I get hung up at the tailgate. This time we got in our seats about an hour before kickoff. To me, it has more a big time feel in pregame in terms of the video production and facility enhancement and crowd anticipation. I like the bell before the team runs out. Still not the energy you want on the team entry but it's been enhanced.
I don't really buy concessions except for water so no complaints there. I noticed the bathroom was renovated. The interactive promo stuff during the game is amusing at times, a tad corny for my tastes but amusing. My main complaint was there was some smell coming from the DAC or bathroom or something wafting through the air and, I'm telling, it stunk! It stunk so bad we all talked about it, the funk was permeating. I noticed it last year too, but somebody needs to figure out how to stop it because it does impact game enjoyment.
A couple of people in my party wanted to get out early so we caught the trolley back downtown in the 4th quarter. Fairly simple, only waited about 15 minutes.
I enjoyed the game atmosphere overall but will give my impressions of our team's performance in an appropriate thread.
