TicketHold | Kelly/Shorts Stadium Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Kelly/Shorts Stadium

Kelly/Shorts Stadium, home to Central Michigan University football, is a premier mid-sized venue with a capacity of 30,000. Known for its electric atmosphere and fan-friendly design, it offers a range of seating options to suit every budget and preference. Whether you're catching a Chippewas game or a special event, this guide helps you navigate the stadium’s layout for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

  • West Sideline (Sections A-D): Prime views of the midfield action, with chairback seating and proximity to team benches. Higher rows may lack shade.
  • East Sideline (Sections E-H): Balanced sightlines, but avoid rows near the front to minimize field-level obstructions.
  • End Zones (Sections J-K): Budget-friendly with immersive energy, though angles can distort deep-field plays.
  • Student Section (North End): High-energy atmosphere but limited seating comfort.

Best Seat Views & Tips

  • Midfield (Sections B-C, rows 20-30): Unobstructed views with ideal elevation.
  • Corners (Sections D/E): Compromise between price and sightlines.
  • Avoid: Rows 1-5 in sideline sections (bench/player obstructions).

VIP & Accessibility

  • Chippewa Club: Premium seating with lounge access and catering.
  • Suites: Private boxes for groups, featuring climate control.
  • Accessible Seating: Designated areas with companion seats in all sections.

Pro Tips

For shade, opt for west-side afternoon games. Budget seekers should check end zones 2-3 weeks pre-game for price drops. Use TicketHold’s interactive map to compare views before booking!
