It's an unusual enough setting to be worth doing once. The pitch of the stands is really low, which makes it pretty impossible to see if you're in the end zones. The seats were made before Americans grew big fat asses and crazy long legs, so if it's half-full it's super uncomfortable. Which I guess is cool with me, even though I'm 6'3". I'd usually prefer to be uncomfortable if it meant I was watching a game in a super historic stadium....unless that stadium has a track and horrible sightlines.
The Yale Bowl's charm is that you feel like you're going back in time. There is no jumbotron, no massive soundsystem blaring Seether, and no advertisements. Anywhere. None. It's absolutely crazy how weird it is to not be bombarded with a KStateCars.com commercial playing way too loud during a timeout. So that's nice. Other than that, the people at those games DO. NOT. GIVE. A. crap. I was there when they were playing freakin' HARVARD and no one was interested. Atmosphere in that respect was absolute garbage, almost like being in a library or at a game at uk. All the students were completely shitfaced, though, so that was entertaining.
