As Chesh said, try the South Outdoor Club, also known as a Cardinal Club (on seat charts these will be S200 levels). Normally the top 5-6 rows in each of those sections has shade and most of the SW corner does there as well. I have 4 seats in the SE corner just above student section. Depending on time of game, that’s not a bad spot if you’re looking to take in as much atmosphere as you can. Right beside band and students.

I’ve also got 4 seats in the SE corner in section S128. These are really easily accessible. They’re a flat walk from the main food court concourse in the south end zone and you walk down just a few steps to our seats. Even if you’re on the bottom row in this section, at most you walk down 10-12 steps. The very corner sections on the lower level are very small sections. Ours in 128 are also next to band and student section. Tons of food options right behind you.

Parking will probably be your biggest issue. If I were you I’d look for parking passes in Lot 56 or Baum East. Both of those lots have a major bus stop presence and would be a breeze for you getting to the stadium and Gate 1.

Easiest elevator is Gate 1. It’s also the busiest. So as to not wait in line forever, I’d advise entering right as gates open and get in line. As soon as you enter gate 1, go to your left and you’ll see the elevator and stairs to go up.
