I was standing in the regular people line at the concession stand and there was nobody in the employee line and the lady helped me. I must look like a custodian or something.

We had a great time. It took us longer to get shuttle passes at humperdinks than it did to get into the stadium. We went in at gate B and stood in line less than 5 mins.

I had grown tired of hearing about the greatness of Jerry's World during NFL games. But was very impressed with the stadium.

Having the roof closed made it loud, especially when LSU started taking the lead.

Split a 16 oz. burger and it was delicious.

I was sitting in the A&M endzone so when play was down at the other end, I just watched the big screen.

We tried to get into Humperdinks but that place was completely full with people at 1:00 pm.

Couldn't even get through the parking lot because of all the fans.

Had to hit a c-store and stock up. Tailgated in a lot close to the Ballpark. $30 to park and it wasn't crowded at that time. Had a grass area sloping down to the lake behind us. It was nice and we should have just been prepared to do this and not tried Humperdinks.

Need more bars around the stadium.

Lots of walking room in the stadium itself, never felt crowed at anytime walking around or going to the concession stand


+1 I never waited in line for the bathroom, for food, or for a drink.

Really nice smoking area with giant Screen for those who smoke

+1000 No in and out passes a la the Georgia Dome made this area a real treat. In addition, the area was not jam packed, which meant that not everyone out there reeked when they re-entered the stadium.

Getting into the stadium was pretty disastrous, not sure if it was the entrance design or the fact that everyone is patted down.


It took us quite a while to get in. One thing I noticed is that they didn't tell you in advance which lines were for men or women. That meant a big shift at the head of the line that seemed to clog everyone up.

Re the big screen:

This was my first trip to Jerry World. I told myself in advance that I would not watch the big screen. Even though we sat in the 400-'s section, I watched the field and only glanced at the screen for replays on a few crucial plays.

On Parking:

The best thing about the whole experience (besides winning, of course) was getting there with no traffic and getting out with no traffic and--I have to add--then finding out that Cane's on Greenville doesn't close until 3 a.m.

Had a great experience. Had a moderate, fast moving line to get patted down, but we were told about male/female lines and directed to the shortest line.

Had a 10$ Philly cheesesteak that was fantastic! I will definitely order another at the Oregon game.

Women's bathroom was clean and had no lines upstairs (400 level). On the way up though, we passed one with a long line. Also, I think Jerry could spring for some 2 ply toilet paper!

Had a great time and good service. Great experience!

i did not have this experience at all. But we did get there earlier than most too.

Maybe my expectations are extremely low to begin with, but I thought the stadium staff/security was very courteous and attentive to customers.

Overall, it was a great experience for me. I will definitely be back for the Oregon game.

Went in at entry C at 5:30 and waited in line 2 minutes max. Traffic in and out was awesome. Game ended at 11:15, was in a restaurant 15 miles away by 11:45. Great experience and great game.
