Mercedes-Benz Superdome is an outdated poor stadium

I was not impressed with the Superdome when we played in the 2018 Sugar Bowl vs. Alabama. I sat in the upper deck. The place is worn out and badly designed by today's standards. I am sure it was a technological marvel when it was built but it's nearly 50 years old.
I was happy at first that my tickets to the National Championship are in the lower deck even though they were in the endzone. I will actually be able to hear Tiger Band this time. However, in seeing the "seat view" on line I realized that being on the last row of my section, you cannot see the larg video boards because of the deck overhang. They seem to have small TVs to see the replays. It is especially nice to see the video board when the action is on the other end of the field.
I know, first world problem. I really enjoyed State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, Jerry World in Arlington, and even Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Superdome just does not hold up to today's standards.

It was well organized and nice inside. I didn’t get to go to Jerry’s world last year. I’m sure it’s a nice one too.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. If we can't say something nice about someone we should hold our tongue.

Because we’ve been to multiple and know what a good experience feels like?
Correct, the state of South Carolina has no professional team. Is that your burn? Good job man.

it was cool to go to the Sugar Bowl there. However, there

Was a pretty scary incident on the the escalators after the game. They make a turn and it was jamming up at the turn. and the crowd was very tight. I thought if someone went down, it could get bad quickly.
Of course, it’s no Jerry’s World but that place was amazing.
I’m looking forward to going back. Still iconic.

Looks like I'll be lucky to see half of the close end zone, let alone the other endzone from a mile away. That said, I'm just happy to be there for a "reasonable" price. https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/47158/Mercedes-Benz+Superdome/section-602/row-7/seat-10/ I do agree it seemed a bit outdated. As I recall from 2 years ago, the concourse in the lower level was really narrow and tight. Other than that, I didn't really have any issues with the place.
Levi Stadium is terrible. The non-symmetrical design is not ideal for a neutral site game. The sound system was awful both times I've been there. There didn't seem to be enough concession stands (at least in the end zone area) so the lines were really long, but they did move fairly quickly considering. For a pretty much brand new stadium, I was not impressed.
I really liked the open feel of the "State Farm Stadium" formerly UofPhonix stadium, but I haven't been there since our first Natty appearance.

Yikes! I take it you are not a fan of the Rose Bowl, Coliseum, or Fenway then either...
I haven’t been inside the Superdome, only outside of it and that was pre-Katrina, but at minimum by most accounts here it sounds outdated and in need of an overhaul.
Sparkling new stadiums are great, but it is fun seeing older ones too with a lot of history too, even if there is some sacrificing of the experience. Personally, I wanted Yankee Stadium to stay and just get a massive refurbishing. But there are other ones like Qualcomm and The Forum in LA that can only be helped with a wrecking ball.

there is a massive difference between say Wrigley Field (where I used to go to about 20 games a year when I lived in Chicago) which is like a living museum and a outdated dome, especially knowing all those people died in there during Hurricane Katrina
