Changes at Bobby Dodd
Fans will see improvements made at Bobby Dodd Stadium, the most visible being a new videoboard at the south end of the stadium. The new board has 34 percent higher resolution than the existing board, which was installed in 2009. The ribbon boards have also been replaced with new displays.
Another big change is improved LTE cellular data coverage. The old board interfered with frequencies in and around the stadium. In recent years, fans would get frustrated by the lack of cell availability. The system would sometimes get overpowered, as happened last year following the improbable finish to the Florida State game.
Fans who lease the Stinger Seats, the cushioned, chair-back seats, will enjoy new waterproof seats with high-density foam. Improvements have been made to the restrooms throughout the stadium, with additional baby changing stations and paper towel dispensers. Concession stands will have new offerings, including an option for a bottomless box of popcorn.
The athletics department has worked with campus and Atlanta authorities to modify entry and exit routes to the stadium.

I'll give the athletic department this, those end of the year surveys where you get an opportunity to complain or give constructive criticism ,depending on how you're feeling, are not just for us to vent.
Couple of years ago one of the popular things complained about was concessions and they improved the stadium concessions from employees to what kind of concession stands they had. I know people have always complained about cell service and not being able to check up on game scores and stuff like that and here they improving that aspect. I hope this continues because it will give fans less to complain about on gameday and improve the experience, so attendance won't be hurt by non game related issues.
