Ross-Ade Stadium Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Bowl (Sections 1-30): Closest to the action, ideal for immersive gameplay views. Sideline sections (10-20) provide balanced sightlines, while end-zone seats (1-9, 21-30) may have angled views of distant plays.
• Upper Bowl (Sections 101-130): Elevated perspectives for tracking plays. Center sections (110-120) offer the clearest views, but higher rows may feel distant.
• Student Section (Sections 105-109): High-energy area with standing room; best for fans wanting a lively experience but limited seating comfort.

Best Seats for Different Events
