Acrisure Stadium Review

The Acrisure Stadium has a variety of different seating configurations and options. Here are a few reviews on various areas of the venue:

• Section 519

  • Guests on A View From My Seat stated that this section had great access to the concourse and wasn’t too far from the field. The section’s view is behind one of the goal lines and off to the side a bit. Fans found it comfortable without any obstructions to the view.

  • The biggest complaint about this section is that it views the field from one side so fans sometimes miss the action happening at the other side of the field. They struggle to see details that occur near the other goal line.

• Section 535

  • Fans sitting in this section stated that it held the ‘best seats ever.’ They appreciated that it was next to the stairs and had easy access to the restrooms, concessions, and other concourse items.

  • The biggest problem with this section is that the stair’s railing is a little bit in the way. However, most fans felt this option was better than having to try and view the game around someone’s head.

Since the maps vary based on the event, decide what angle you’d like and look for seats in those sections. If you’re coming for a concert, make sure your floor seats are close, or you are tall enough to see over others. For football, think about which angle you appreciate so you can make the most of your experience.
