As ugly as the stadium's exterior may be, it's interior makes up for it -- no more squeezing down narrow, crowded 86-year-old cinder block innards in search of sub-par food.
The ramps and halls are nice and wide, and are "open" so you can see the field as you frequent one of the many food areas, shelling out $8.50 for 22 oz. of crap beer such as Miller Lite, or $11 for "good" beer such as Becks.
Most impressive may be the 101 x 59' HD scoreboard -- which I could actually read whilst flying over it to La Guardia from Chicago recently. Oddly, however, I noticed a lack of music, and sound in general. Seems like they simply ported the crowd cheers and organ noodlings from the old stadium to the new one. Also, I noticed far fewer vendors -- probably a result of more food options in the walkways.
We sat in section 227A, where a paltry sum of $180/ticket puts you roughly in the middle.
