Does Every Seat in Tiger Stadium have a Full View of the Football Field?

If not, where are the seats that have a partial obstruction. Please exclude the sideline seats that are low and might be obstructed by players on the sideline.

Does anyone know if any of the upper deck seats are partially obstructed by the new upper deck end zone score boards?

Every seat besides the one you mentioned have a perfect view of the entire field.

Even the south upper endzone seats pressed against the screen have a clear view of the entire field. The seats are so far back and steep that there's nothing blocking it.

It depends on how tall you are and if the guy in front of you is going to stand all game long

On the Sidelines you need to sit at least 10 rows up and that is marginal. I have sit on the 13th row on the East Side and that is marginal but adequate. When I had Season Ticket I sit in the South Endzone Upper Deck and that that was great.

That is good to hear. I thought there might be some seats with partial obstruction somewhere.

The field really needs to be dropped seven feet, and then those first ten rows in the original stands and the field level seats behind the benches would all be viable.

Other than those I mentioned, Tiger Stadium has the best sightlines of any stadium in the conference.

No exaggerated curves to the sidelines, so all fans sit right on top of the field. Plenty of exits, with plenty of restrooms and concessions near them.



So fans in Tiger Stadium not only get a good view of the game, but they spend less time away from the game than in any other stadium. I'd say that 99% of all visiting fans enjoy a better seat in Tiger Stadium than they do back at their respective schools' stadium.

It's the best stadium in which to watch a game in this conference.

I believe there is a seat by one of the new screens where that screen blocks part of your view

Lowering the field seven feet will cause drainage problems. How will water be removed without some sort of system to pump it out of the stadium since all water will flow to the lowest point? The amount of seats with views obstructed, or partially obstructed, by the team benches is too small to justify the cost and complexity of lowering the field and installing and maintaining an effective drainage system.

If I were an Alien Space Bat and could go back to the original construction of Tiger Stadium, I would have had the original stands 7 or 8 feet higher....an example of what I'm talking about would be East or West Jefferson Stadiums in Kenner and Harvey respectively...

then when North Stadium was constructed, the NEZ portal onto the field could have been larger and set up in such a way where Tiger Band could go straight onto the field from the outside...

I swear I would go home, and risk soiling myself on the trip, before I took a seat in a Tiger Stadium men's room.

In the E or W upper deck? I know for sure that there's no blocked view to the field in the South Upper

Texas A&M just lowered their field, and installed a massive drainage system.



Auburn already had a very good drainage system...

game was played right after this down pour with no damage. I know we have. Everyone outside of AU was amazed at the feat.



So yes, lowering the field is an option.
