You're lucky. Even though the seats aren't lower bowl, it's going to be a breeze to visit the restrooms and concessions. They're literally right behind you...


that will be nice

last year when I went to the A&M/LSU game finding the restrooms was like going on an adventure.

I think Notre Dame is the only other stadium I've been to that seemingly hides them in areas that look like they should be for storage.

Bama has 157 suites


BDS has more suites, but most of those only seat 16, with a few seating 24. Tiger Den Suites...the ones available for fans that is...uniformly have a capacity of twenty-three people. There are fifteen seats located in three rows outside the suite interior, four seats at a glass rail inside the suite and four standing room only tickets.

The Chancellor, the Athletic Director, The Governor of Louisiana, etc...all have their own suites, which are somewhat larger than those the fans can get.

So LSU has more suite spaces available, generally speaking. As far as premium seating goes, it's BDS, Tiger Stadium, Reynolds Razorback, Neyland, and Kyle at the top, with a steep drop after those five places.

That will be the next thing that's addressed, the concourses/restrooms/concessions at Tiger Stadium.

Are the old dorms still in the side of the stadium?

Yup, but they're used as storage closets & offices now. Also, the addition includes an area that is for "future use". I've heard rumors that these two levels would be made into hotel rooms, party rooms, etc in the future

Would be a huge money maker imo

Surprised Sanford isn't near the top.

Sanford has 77 suites, Jordan-Hare has 79, BHG has 80 IIRC. Commonwealth will have 75 suites after it's renovation is complete.

Here's a list from an old thread of mine:

As of now:

Alabama- BDS 157 suites

Arkansas-Reynolds-Razorback 132 suites

UT-Neyland 120 suites

UF-BHG 80 suites

AU-Jordan-Hare Stadium 79 suites

UGA-Sanford 77 suites

LSU-Tiger Stadium 70 suites

TAMU-Kyle Field 68 suites

Ole Miss-Vaught-Hemingway 52

MSU-Davis-Wade 50 suites

UK-Commonwealth 50 suites

Mizzou-Faurot Field 31 suites + 2 "Founder's Suites" (extra large)

USce-Williams-Brice Stadium 18

Vandy- Vanderbilt Stadium N/A

As of 2014:

LSU-Tiger Stadium 130-140 suites (exact number not released yet) + 3,000 club seats (added to existing 3,200 club seats for total of 6,200).

Mizzou-Faurot Field 35 suites +1,200 premium seats (club & loge)

MSU-Davis-Wade 72 suites

As of 2015:

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

Arkansas Reynolds-Razorback TBD

UK-Commonwealth 75 suites + 1,800 premium club seats at the field and mezzanine level

As of 2016:

Ole Miss-Vaught-Hemingway TBD

Fans of respective schools feel free to post corrections. Some schools make it ridiculously hard to get the correct number of suites. (I'm looking at you Ole Miss)

I think 1,900 premium seats is current for Kyle. It should be larger in 2015 (I think).

Any reason they didn't go higher than 4 rows for the first set of general seating? I'm referring to that last picture FWIW


That's the stadium club. It's more than four rows, it's just the entrance to the stadium club splits the section. So when you come out of the portal you either go down to the four rows or up the stairs to the rest of the section.

Yeah you guys have a very impressive setup in that sense. Razorback Stadium has as much premium seating as stadiums that have (or are soon to have) ~30,000 more seats.

Which makes it even more laughable to me that you have to play games in Little Rock.

Sixty-eight suites/skyboxes were added, bringing the total to 132. The stadium's capacity includes 8,950 club seats, inside and out.


DWRRS


You guys will take back the lead when you expand. What's the time table on that BTW?

I think it will be a couple seasons from now. That's my unofficial feeling. If you have been to DWRRS, the seats will cover the Broyles Center (that ugly building in the open endzone)

I get so confused with Kyle's 2-stage construction...can you find a link so I can correct the info?
