Visiting fans are typically placed in the upper sections of the west sideline or the north end zone, which offer solid sightlines but can feel isolated from the main crowd energy.

Sightlines
The east side upper deck provides the best panoramic views of the field and the Iowa sunset during afternoon games.
☀️
Sun & Shade
The student section occupies the south end zone and lower south stands — steer clear if you're wearing opposing colors.
🏠
Visiting Fans
There's minimal shade in the stadium, so afternoon September games can be brutally sunny, especially on the east side lower bowl.

PRO TIP
Sections in the west upper deck between the 30-yard lines offer the best combination of sightlines, shade, and relative calm for visitors.
