I'm considering upgrading a few tickets to somewhere in first 4 rows of east sideline. I am aware that the view is blocked by players etc., but wanted to get opinions from people who sit in the first 4 rows every game. Would you recommend the seats? Does anyone have a picture they can post to show perspective during a game? Do you have to stand the whole game? I may consider buying in row 4 but just wanted more info from those who sit there. Thanks.

I've sat on Row H which is now I assume row 8 and I consider that too low.

I sat on row 6 for the Florida game and thought it was badass. I'd do it. You can see most plays and the atmosphere is 100X better.

I sat down there for the Vandy game last year. The first half I was watching the game on the screen. Alot of people leave at halftime which is sad, but the benefit for me was I was able to move a couple rows up and have the best seat in the house.

I sat in the 4th row for the 2008 App St game. It was very cool to get the "expirience" of being closer to the field, players, etc.

However, since I've sat there once, I would not want to sit there again.

With the crown on the field and the players standing on the bench and sidelines, I could not see too many of the plys outside of the hash marks. Especially on the opp side of the field. Since it was a nationally televised game, the camera truck rolled in front of us when the play was betwen the 40's.

I sit on 13 sometimes and wouldn't recommend much lower than that, no pictures though.

I sat on the 50 yard line, 2 rows up in 1997 when we beat Florida. I was 13 at the time, and I don't remember having one problem seeing the game, and I also remember it being the greatest night of my football life.

My season tickets are in the upper south endzone, but I did sit in the 5th row behind Auburn's bench in 2007 (Flynn to Byrd for the win). It was a good experience but not sure if I would like to sit there every game. It was cool to closely observe the Auburn sideline and see their reaction to plays. And you got a neat view when plays were right in front of you. One thing that we had to get used to was the glare of the lights shining down on us...would bring a cap next time.

I like sitting in different parts of the stadium to get different views of the game. And I enjoyed being 5 rows from the field (45 yard line).

I sat with a friend in Row 13 on the East Side. It was the Arkansas Game after DiNardo got fired. I had Season Tickets years back in U16 in South Endzone and this is definitely a different view of the game. You can see good from Row 13 and I really enjoyed the game from there and LSU kicked the crap out of Arkansas!! I did not know the people around me but they talked to me like I had always sit there.

I get to sit on the 45, row 6 sometimes. My wife's work has some tickets there, and she can get them about once a season. If you're the type of person who needs to see every play, and see the whole thing develop, it may not be the place for you. You'll definitely need to use the big screens for a decent portion of your viewing. However it is nice to be so close to the bench, to see things other fans can't see, and really be in the atmosphere down there.

we have front row season tickets to Titans games and when the action is right in front of you theres not a better seat in the house, but I end up having to watch half the game on the scoreboard screens when its on the other side of the 50

I stood in my seats seven rows up (you will not sit unless you do not want to see) and got so frustrated I moved to the end zone curve. You need to find you some better seats if you can. Row 8 on the west side is different than row 8 on the east side because the stadium is curved differently.....The only thing good about where you are going is you get a quicker shot at the rest rooms and concessions...good luck

The first 10 rows don't slope much at all so the view is terrible. I used to sit on row 9 and it sucked. At least the video board is bigger. If the play isn't I front of you it sucks.

I sat on the 13th row on the 50 a couple of times. The view is awesome. However, I can see any lower than that being a problem.

I sat in Row 1, Seat 1 (on the 50) at Cowboys stadium once. Didn't see much of the game, but I was able to catch the attention of Steve Walsh at one point. IMO, when you're that low, you're there for the front row atmosphere and experience, not because you want to analyze every play of the game.

Have tickets in the 3rd row on the west side. If you want to see some behind the scenes action, hearing the coaches, getting trinkets from the players at the end of the game it is pretty cool. Not much for seeing the game. I do love those seats though.

You will only see part of the game when it is not blocked by the players. Does no good to stand up.
