I will say, a 2pm start would have been better.
But, even though McMahon is still a dump, the game day experience seems much improved over past years. Gridiron Gardens had a lot of things to see and do, the in-game promotions were more engaging and interesting, and the food lineups moved decently (probably because it's not as busy!). But I worry that a crappy, boring team is going to result in too many missing out/it going away sometime. Either way, we'll be back again for sure.

So glad to hear that. Was wondering if you were at this one.
I was there with my kids too (and my dad). Youngest came for the fighter jets and the mini footballs... both were in short supply through the third quarter, and I was thinking I'd made a big mistake... I mean, you want them to fall in love with the game and the team, and it was tough going for awhile there. But that fourth quarter... they could go to every game for the rest of their lives and they might only see something like that a handful of times. That's why we love sports. Experiencing that with them was just great.
