Sun & Shade
The student section occupies the east side lower sections, so sit nearby if you want peak energy — or opposite if you prefer a calmer experience.
🏠
Visiting Fans
With only 24,000 seats, there's genuinely not a bad seat in the house, but the aluminum bleachers in some sections mean bringing a seat cushion is highly recommended.
