They really shouldn't sell these as tickets. You can't see anything unless you just want to watch the Jumbotron. You need to sit probably 5 rows higher to see the action on the field.
Good view of most of the field. In the sun most of the day. Nice to have a brimmed hat and/or sunglasses in the afternoon, though you aren't looking directly into the sun at all.

Unable to see screens fully.
Section 129
Great view. Pretty far from the aisle.
Really good view of the field. The only real problem we had seeing were plays towards the opposite end zone on the home sideline.
Section 229
Great view of the whole field. Long walk and steep stairs to get to the seats.
Section 102
Really good view. Was an evening game (6p) and the sun hits these seats but was fine after about 6:30. Right near the student section
Section 126
Middle of the section but really good view of the field.
Section 128
Pretty good seats overall. Second row from the wall.
Section 105
No one in front of you! Above the portal tunnel.
Great view of the field! Seating is tight though, you can see where they scraped off the old numbers and put down new ones closer together.
Section 226
Great seats, but view would actually be better a couple rows higher. Seats were in the sun until about 1 pm, then shaded after that.
Section 206
Great view of the entire field. In the sun during day games.

Awesome seats! Great view of the entire field. Seats were in the sun for the entire game, which was a good thing for a mid-day game in October.
