I was pleasantly surprised by the vaccination check system - for me it took 10 minutes at "peak" time (30 minutes prior to kick-off).   The line to get in the gate was very long at the gate immediately after the vaccination tents so I walked to the next gate (4?) and there was NO LINE at all.  I was at my seat with 15 minutes to go.

I'd made it through the gauntlet, checking out the Band's pre-game show and was ready for the game to begin!  Sadly my team didn't arrive until the second half.

It was a gorgeous day to watch football. A wonderful afternoon really - sunny without being hot, the crowd was into the game (and it felt crowded in a good way where we sit), no complaints about the music in our seats, and the students were out in force.  It was the first time I'd been at a sporting event in 2 years and it was fun.

One suggestion for those drowned by the music ... have you considered moving lower in the bowl?  I think it's worse near the overhang but really not an issue as you get closer to the field.   (I sit in 115, ~6 rows up from the field).  I don't doubt your concerns, I sat under the overhang near a speaker once due to rain and it was bad.
