There are certainly nice parts to it but as a spectator in general seating I was underwhelmed by the facility and always wondered why they didn't invest more into the bells and whistles (as oc40 put it).
Granted, I haven't been there in over 8 years so perhaps that has changed, though I think the main pitch is the historical reputation and there's probably a pride there that it hasn't changed too much. Some people get irritated when structures are modified every few years with the different architectural fads.
Anyway, I wouldn't call it a dump by any stretch. Lockhart was a dump.
