So my daughter and son in law were planning to take my 7 y/o grandson to his first game this year. Wife and I were trying to talk them into either South Carolina or A&M and even offered to help pay for some of the tickets for them. Her boss found out she was taking son to his first game and gave her five tickets to Western Kentucky. Seats are in Stadium Club West. Crappy game but free tickets so that’s the one they are taking him to. Wife and I are still going to go to A&M game most likely but daughter wants us to go with them as well so we can share in grandsons first Tiger Stadium experience.
How are the seats. Seems pretty high up. I have only sat upper deck once but hated it and felt detached somewhat from the atmosphere you get in the lower bowl. I know Stadium club seating isn’t upper deck but do you still get the same feeling as lower bowl.
Just fyi..I will be taking him to a good conference game next year so he can get the full effect of what it’s really like.

It is on the West side of the stadium (closer to where the sun sets).

Great place, I get tickets there 2-3 times a season. Sat there for the La.Tech. Game. Good food. TV’s around, allowing you to watch other games.

It’s a great place to socialize.

Now if you want to watch football . . . .

I think smaller games are better for first games, not quite as chaotic.

Does it really matter where you sit if you get to experience this with him? It sounds like it’s an extra game you’ll go to anyway so who cares as long as you’re with your daughter, son-in-law, and especially your grandson.

Didn’t mean above as an arse type remark, just take time to appreciate the things you can, and that are important.

That type of game is 100x better for a kid that age to experience his first game

Sorry they are making you do this though

This really.

I had season tickets for 30 years. My son was born in 1997. I took him to numerous games from 2002 on. The first two games that he truly remembers and made a profound impact on him is the 2007 Florida and Auburn games. He can’t even remember the 2003 Georgia game and that game was massive from a fan stand point.

That’s how I feel about it too. Seems kinda pretentious and more of a social experience than a football game. If I wanted that, I’d stay home and watch it with family and friends. Give me the atmosphere, the yelling, the smells, everything about the lower bowl.

Stadium club is the best way to attend a game at Tiger Stadium

Yes you want to take him to the stadium club, especially for his first game. Imagine sitting in the cramped South EZ of the lower bowl vs a great view of the field with overhang, no long concession stand lines and high prices, air conditioning, etc. He will love it.

I have had seats in the South Club since it opened. My son and daughter both started going as infants. No way I could have done that sitting in the lower bowl. I love the South Club market. Young families with tons of kids in a big space. West club is more legacy and stature, along with politics. Its smaller than the South Club interior but has quick and easy access to food/drink options. Both are great, but the West would be a perfect first game for your grandson to bond with you. Do it.

Free food everywhere of all types. Cash bar of all types. Free soft drinks and ice cream. Tables, chairs, air conditioning, lots of people to visit with. All the other games are on TVs everywhere even our game. Yes. You leave that air conditioned goodness to stadium seats in the lower bowl. Yes if your seats are down front it’s just like being in the game. (There’s only 6 rows).

If it’s freezing cold, it’s warm. If it’s raining, you’re dry. If it’s hot … you get the drift.

Never turn those tickets down. Also even if you buy them it’s about the same as tailgating (with good,drink, etc plus you never have to tear it all down to go to the game etc).

The South Club is not as nice. The Skykine Club is even worse. The West is where it’s at. Also it gets night there sooner being in the West.

100% enjoyable.

Didn’t take it that way brother. And I absolutely treasure all my memories of being in Tiger Stadium with my kids when they were growing up.

I think some may have misunderstood the point of my post or more likely I just did a liss poor job asking the question.

I wasn’t complaining about anything. As always, super excited to make more memories in Tiger Stadium with loved ones, regardless of who we are playing.

My one time in upper deck, I felt detached from the awesome in game atmosphere you get in lower bowl. Was simply worried if the seating portion of the club seats outside had that same detached feeling. In the lower bowl, when the crowd is into, it’s like being in a drum and you can almost feel the stadium breathing. It’s so intense (in a great way) and I felt I missed that feeling in the upper deck.

That’s it. All I was wondering. I kind of figured having the ability to step inside if weather was really cold, access to food and drinks, more comfortable seating were all awesome and superior to just some randomness in lower bowl.

Thanks to everyone for their responses though.
