As of 2015: TAMU-Kyle Field 114 suites + 12 extra-big "Founder's Suites" + 1,900 premium seats


i don't think this is correct.

the entire west side 2nd deck is club seating. it looks to have around 10 sections on the order of 20 rows by 20 seats. that's 4k without even beginning to count the existing north endzone club level, which looks to have around 15 sections of 11 rows by 20 seats, or 3k+.

there are probably 7-8k club seats overall.

Yeah, this is definitely being left out of the premium seat calculations people seem to be using for comparing Kyle to other stadiums. The ENTIRE west side second deck, which is all chairbacks, feeds back into an enclosed, air conditioned club area with several bars, leather couches, chandeliers, wood paneled walls, and marble. That's premium seating, all of it.

I wouldn't count all of the lower level North Zone seating as premium though. That feeds back into a concrete concourse that's open to the outside air. Only the little mini second deck in the North Zone - the "Zone Club" - which hangs under the North Zone suite level has an enclosed air conditioned concourse with bars and could be considered premium seating.

i was referring only to the strip of seating in the pic below:

Zone Club




Long regarded as the premier seating option in Kyle Field, the Zone Club will remain a prime place to watch the game and enjoy fellowship with Aggies in the approximately 14,500 square-foot club, where full bar service and premium food options ensure your game-day experience is second to none. The Zone Club will remain the only seating option for individual seats that are covered and protected from the elements.


Seat Details
•Armchair
•Cupholder
•Covered
Zone Club Access
•Full Service Bar
•Premium Concessions
•Escalator
•Elevator

Unless they've changed it, portions of the upper levels of the north and south end zones contain vistor's sections along with portions of the first deck of the east side. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this moving forward. The second and third decks on the east side are all student seating. The west side is all alumni (unless you buy them on stubhub)

The best chart is this one: LINK /

i think they're going to be sections 130-132 in the lower south endzone, and the tops of sections 409-412, and 418-421 in the upper north endzone. i think that's close to where they were last year.

Yeah last year it was part of the lower south end zone and the nosebleed corners of the north end zone.

Ole miss also is up to 4 club sections that are unaccounted for in your list. I don't have the number of seats available but it's a lot.

I think a couple rows of 125 and 126 will be for visitors in accordance with SEC rules not allowing home fans immediately behind a visiting bench.

This is why I never updated that thread and am reluctant to do so now. Most schools in this conference make it nearly impossible to get accurate information. There really needs to be a directive from the SEC that all schools get on the same page in regards to releasing accurate information in a standardized manner.

As it is, some schools do some information very good, but other information badly or none at all.

Even LSU, whose athletic website is among the best-organized and most informative, fails utterly to provide a chart of the visitor's seating section. To be fair though, most school sites are even worse. It's like they think that information needs to be under lock and key.

It's absolutely infuriating how difficult it is to find out how many suites, club seats, and premium seating overall there are in each stadium. As well as seating charts for both student and visitor's sections.

Yeah, I'd rather someone else do it. I'd be happy to assist anyone who's up for it. Just send an email to tigersofgeauxld@gmail.com and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Florida's IPF will open in a couple of weeks. It's about a month ahead of schedule.

Why didn't they just carry the same design as the Zone for the other endzone? That erector set crap looks like it could fall over at any time.
