RYS Expert Reviews

Lower Level Sideline

- Sideline seating on the lower level is made up of the best seats at the Cotton Bowl. Sections 6 and 24 are directly at midfield and behind the player benches. The home team bench is on the SW side of the stadium behind sections 5-7, while the visiting team is on the opposite end of the field. There are a limited number of chairback seats located in the middle rows of Section 6. To most, these are the best seats at the Cotton Bowl. They'll have the sun setting behind them, they'll have the luxury of a seatback and the view of the field can't be beat. With the entrance to each section located at the top, fans sitting in the lower rows will have the longest walk to their seats. In some cases, this hike could be as many as 60 rows of stairs.

Oklahoma Seating

Midfield Sections: Sections 6 and 24 in the lower level, along with Sections 106 and 128 in the upper level, are split evenly between Texas and Oklahoma fans. Seat Tip: Some sections include bleacher seats with backs, while others feature traditional bleacher seating without backs. Who Should Sit Here These sections are ideal for Oklahoma fans who want to be surrounded by fellow Sooners supporters during the Red River Showdown. If you're looking for a true Oklahoma fan atmosphere, choosing one of the dedicated Oklahoma sections provides the best experience.

Seating and Ticket Q&A

At Cotton Bowl Stadium, in Row 1 Section 5, can you see over the players?

Unlike most newer stadiums, the lower bowl seating at the Cotton Bowl is not elevated enough to see over the players. Fans are almost at field level when in their seats, and most fans seated in the lower sideline sections have to stand to see the game.

We recommend higher number rows (30+) for better sitelines and to be close to the concourse tunnel.

In section 5, is seat #1 on the left or right side of the section?

There are 26 seats in Section 5, Row 7. As you face the field from this section, lower number seats are on the right.

What seat numbers are aisle seats in section 3-4-5?

Due to the shape of the sections, the number of seats in each row will change as you move up and down the section. Therefore the seat numbers located on the aisle will change depending on which row you are in. Seat 1 will always be located on the aisle on the right side of the section. For the left aisle, lower rows will end at seat 24 and the upper rows will end with seat 32.
