Posted this on Luicci's forum but know a lot of Ags here went to the game as well.

One of the coolest looking venues on tv. Love the flat roof extended around the stadium, and in South Florida fashion the colored lighting made it look like a Vegas casino.

Thoughts on the overall stadium?

The stadium was nice. I was pretty high up in the corner and didn't have any issues with visibility so there's probably not a bad seat in the house. It's unfortunate how limited the capacity was because I imagine it would've gotten loud in there with that partial roof.

I hear it wasn't very loud and that hardly anyone showed up.

sounded like the crowd was lopsided for UNC (I heard more noise from their fans on my TV)

I saw about 14,000 as the attendance but don't know what would be permitted with the spacing rules.

Smallest crowd for the team all year?

Wondered if the empty sound took some of the fire away from kids that are use to more noise. Couple times during the broadcast the stadium just sounded like the game was over and the fans were just quietly talking amongst themselves while Muzak played in the background.

Hard Rock stadium was ok. There was no live halftime show , so what you saw on TV was fake . No yells as they stuck yell leaders in the end zone . Did not feel I was at an Aggie game....

Kyle Field makes for a tough measuring stick.

Overall the the stadium reminded me off a cross between NRG Stadium and the old Texas Stadium. It was very easy to get in and out of the game but I'm sure that was aided by the low attendance. It's a shame what covid has done to game attendance numbers, it would have been really cool to see another 10-20k Aggies in the place.

Overall the trip was great, going to Miami in January so much better than going to the locations of some of the other bowl games.

I live just up the road in West Palm Beach and have been there a couple times. It's a pro stadium and so smaller than the mega college stadiums, but i always thought it was really nice and can't imagine it being classified as a dump. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Your son, she is confused. It is the opposite of a dump, really a beautiful stadium.

It is an outdoor stadium, with no enclosing walls and an open roof, but you are protected from the elements and quite comfortable.

The food was good, both traditional stadium fare and local flavor as well.

The bathrooms were clean and nicer than at Kyle.

The concourse was wide and easy to walk around. You can circle the entire stadium on the third deck. And you can get to the third deck either by walking the iconic spiraling ramps or taking the massive, straight-line escalator. The sight lines from the third deck are perfect; I was pretty high up but felt like I was reasonably close to the action.

Parking is plentiful; you don't have to walk or even drive through slums to get there.

Finally, the service personnel were extremely friendly and welcoming.

It's not the stadium's fault that attendance was limited by Covid.

I agree with what Ag1985 wrote.

The stadium was very open and easy to get around in.
There were plentiful bathrooms with lots of room in them.
The food was stadium food, as expected.

We really liked the cover over pretty much all the seating inside but open over the field.
The fireworks show at halftime was fun to watch.

We had a great time there and really liked the stadium.
