Yep, I already mentioned the puppy-skinning stations in each concourse.

I don't have too much bad to say about it either & like it the best of any of the stadiums that I've been to. My biggest gripe is the lack of outside food vendors inside the stadium, so that the concourses have an almost cafeteria-like atmosphere.

you mean outside like you wanna see a chickie and petes or a nicks steaks like they have in ashburn alley?

i dont eat at eagle games so food doesnt really concern me

theres really only two bad things i can say about the linc

1. the open corners...i hate them...i much prefer a fully enclosed stadium

2. its not the vet

My only complaint about the linc are the terribly small concourses. If you are in the upper level, you can forget about taking a piss at halftime and making it back by the 3rd Qtr.

my complaint about the Linc is that the color scheme is very dreary...all the steel is painted dark gray and everything else is precast concrete

where i sit bathroom lines are way better at the linc than at the vet.....probably because i sit in 210 (corner end zone seats) and us 209 and 211 are the only people that hit our bathroom

what you described was my experience at the vet...it was insane there due to the bathrooms being half the size and double the amount of people hitting them

I don't mean the lines in the bathrooms themselves. I mean just walking though the damn hallways to them. between the rush to the concourses, to the lines at the consessions, you can't move.

I've only been there about 6 times though.

Should they liven it up with some delightful hues of fuschia and lemongrass?

oh thats definitely true...its a pain in the ass but imo the shoter wait in the bathroom line makes up for the crowds and i still get back to my seat quicker than i ever did at the vet

in the linc i can wait until the official start of halftime and get back to my seat in time...at the vet id have to leave at the two minute warning and i still wasnt guaranteed to be back in time for the start of the second half

I filled it out yesterday, my biggest complaint about the linc was that it was too similar to other NFL stadiums.

In all the games I've been to the only thing I've eaten inside the stadium was a pretzel.  I mean, you guys have been at Die-Hard's tailgates.  If you can't stuff yourself with George's food offerings then something's wrong with you.  Plus there's the White House Subs we usually bring which, incidentally, I would gladly kill each and every one of you for right now.

As for the bathrooms, I've never had to wait behind section 110.  Not even once.  Maybe because it's a smaller section or whatever but never once.  It's usually boom in and out.

only real "problem" i listed was the lack of ways to enter and exit the upper levels. Aweful for $500 million they have 1 escalator on each side to get to where 60% of the fans sit. Giants stadium has more escalators and over all entrance/exits to the upper levels.

Yea, but, God knows how much that (and everything else) will change once they build the godforsaken new one.

I went off on a bit of a tirade about that in that survey.  :-\

Damn!  the tailgate at C6 is getting internet publicity...sweet!  guess we better up the cuisine beyond mcmuffins, wings, yeungs, soco, Absolut, coors & white house subs.
