Stadium Seating Question

Post by SMUstangs22 »

Has anyone sat in top section of the upper deck seats? I just got my season tickets (which I am stoked about) but I settled on seats near the top of the stadium. I will be sideline but I am concerned about the view considering how high up we are. How is the view up there?

Outside of one or two games, you shouldn't have a problem moving lower in the stadium.

Not a bad seat anywhere. The view from the top is great.

I figured considering the size of the stadium. I just didn't want to watch the video board more than the court.

You should be just fine!

First I assume you are talking basketball so that negates Ponysnobs reply. I am up in the rafters and have a good view. I am more end line than sideline and am still happy.

The lower you are the better and louder but line of sight is good and atmosphere is great. I am kind of happy to be higher because it is a lot louder down below than above and my old man ears would fall off

So I'll be able to see the action on the court well?

Yes you will. I never look at the video screen during play.

Easily.

Don't forget the suites are at the top of the arena. They seem to be able to see the game just fine. I'm sure all of the high rollers on here can confirm.

I sat everywhere in Moody last year- up in the rafters, baseline, courtside, suites. Truly not a bad seat in the house. I was up in the rafters on the sideline for the Memphis game and had a great view of all the action

What is there-about 16 rows in Moody? Row 10 is excellent and the Video screen is right in front of me. Consider how the worst seats at moody are closer than much more half the seating in the mega-stadiums

I was in the rafters at Memphis and could not determine if a shot went in or not. But the seeing the Edmund Hillary memorial was nice

I am not sure regarding total amount of rows... However, I am in row 14. Hoping those will have a decent view. Row 13 starts the top section of the upper deck.

Anyone have any idea how far the priority point list has been worked through for the basketball tickets? I requested to add more seats to my current tickets but they haven't gotten to me - I already assumed they would run out before my place in line. Have like 90 priority points, just FYI.
