Has anyone been to a game at Neyland?

Im going to the LSU and UT game in November. Looking at tickets im going for sideline behind the LSU bench. I found tickets for row 1 section C. Which is sideline right on the 50 behind the LSU bench.
I assumed row 1 would be as close as i could get especially with that being a sideline section.
But when i look at the seat it looks like its 1 section behind the area thats the closest to the field.
So my question is, are there reserved seats that are the closest sections that cant be bought by the general public?
Every site i try when i go for "best seats" they all bring up this area. But when i look at the actual seat, it looks like its still one section back from the field not the one thats right at the field.
Any insight from anyone who has been to a game in Knoxville would be appreciated. I'll try asking Tennessee fans about it too. But i was just wondering if LSU has tickets reserved that you can only get some other way.

Upper deck is steep, and made of sheet metal, not concrete.

I haven't found any headsets that are powerful enough to guarantee that I don't have to hear Rocky Top played 1,003 times during each half so No!

It is likely to be jam packed this year. 2011 wasn't so crowded, as UT fans didn't think the Vols would win. This year is different.
There is a reason that stadium holds 110,000+ fans: The bench seats in the upper decks are only 12 inches wide. Our giant LSU asses usually leave about 2 or 3 people without a seat on a row. There just physically is not enough room.
The concourses are actually smaller than LSU NEZ.
It's still a nice atmosphere, if you don't mind hearing Rocky Top 525,600 times in one night.

Honestly one of the best game atmospheres I've ever been to (been to all SEC schools save LSU, Bama, and UF; Clemson; ND; Texas), and their teams were 2-3, 3-2, and 2-3 the three times I've been there. They get incredibly loud to the point it sounds like they're pumping crowd noise in the stadium. Very cool experience if you don't include listening to Rocky Top 5,000 times. Tailgating leaves a little to be desired for sure, but it's not bad.
Not that many bad seats in the stadium (outside of the seats being tiny) from what I can remember, so you should be fine. Scalping will probably be tough considering the amount of LSU fans who will probably make the trip. Not a bad idea to have a ticket in hand however you can get it.

I went in 2011 and like others have said, the upper deck seats are very small. It was a nice road trip and I have two tickets to go back this year. I don't know anything about the lower bowl but that's where my tickets will be this time. Overall, a very fun trip.

I'm currently sitting at a bar looking at Neyland. They have a great downtown next to stadium with tons of cool bars and restaurants. I plan on flying in for the game. We love visiting here.

Sat in the lower bowl in 2011 with the Tennessee fans. Heard upper deck seats were too narrow

As the others say, Tenn is a great gameday experience...I wish we got to go more than once every 6 years.
as for the seats, most LSU fans will be sitting in the uppers (like you do at most any other away game). The reason tickets are available in the area that you are looking is generally because the seats are too low to be good. that stadium is steep as hell, so don't be afraid to get something a lot higher in the lower bowl or in the uppers.

I was there in 2006.....
On the field!!! Game winning touchdown was nuts.
Incredible experience.

Impressive, but not nearly as loud as one might expect. Went to the game in (was it '09?) when Jamarcus went on a 4TH qtr tear to beat and produce my favorite shade of orange - "quite orange".
Tailgating was pretty good, as was the Vol walk, but to my surprise, the parking lot near the stadium did not really get filled until way closer to game time than you might imagine. Still, the campus had lots of fall colors, and a good amount of tailgating, and the river area was fun to watch.

I have enjoyed my road trips to Knoxville, but it certainly wasn't because of the stadium. Neyland Stadium is awful. There's not a good seat in that whole monstrosity. I can't even imagine that the home crowd's seats are good.
I would especially steer clear of a 50 yd line, row 1 seat if you care to see the game at all.

Horrible place to watch a game. But I'm also going. I've been a few times including 89 and 06. The seats don't fit my arse and I'm not that big.

Yes

Do y'all suggest waiting to get tickets? I don't see anymore on Lsu's site and the stubhub, seatgeek, etc tickets are high as hell right now. $200 for lower bowl and $120 for nose bleeds

I have been to Neyland several times but they usually put me in the Bob Ueker seats. Two stadiums with seats made for very small behinds: Tennessee and Notre Dame.

Went to the Jarmarcus Russel game there. Tailgating was great, atmosphere was awesome, but that stadium is shite. It looks like a giant aluminum high school stadium.
They pack you in like sardines in that MOFO. If you are taller than 5' prepare to have your knees in someones back and knees in your back the whole time.

I went in 2006. Sat in end zone, saw the game winning play right in front of me. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I went with UT friends and tailgated with them. Vol fans were friendly. It is a big stadium, but doesn't seem as loud as Tiger Stadium. Seats are cramped, and Rocky Top is obnoxious, but I would go back.
