Seating tiers

Lower bowl

Rows General rows

Sightlines are excellent, with minimal obstructions. The lower bowl seats offer a great view of the field and the action on third downs. the lower rows provide an ideal balance between proximity and comfort.

Mid-level

Rows General rows

These rows strike a good balance between lower bowl proximity and upper deck atmosphere. The mid-level offers a mix of crowd noise and visibility, making it a popular choice among fans.

Upper deck

Rows General rows

The upper deck provides the best view for long plays but can be more exposed to the elements. the lower rows are particularly windy and should be avoided on a gusty day.

Sections we'd pick

Lower bowl between the 30-yard lines. Best balance of comfort and view.
Mid-level sections behind the south end zone for crowd energy.
Upper deck near midfield for a clear view of long plays.

Sections we'd skip

Lower bowl corners. Sideline depth can pinch the view, especially on windy days.
Upper deck on a strong north-wind day. Open to the wind funnel above the bowl.
Far end-zone corners on the lower bowl when the public-address speaker stack obstructs the upper field.
