RYS Expert Reviews
Balcony Sideline
(2026 Review) -
Highest Sideline Views: The balcony holds the highest and furthest views among the non-premium sections, with a second-tier sideline angle that lets you see the entire field.
East vs. West Sizing: East balcony sections are much larger, with up to 40 numbered rows; the west side runs just 14 rows.
Elevated Sideline Angle: A true sideline perspective from above the action, good for following play development.
Overhead Coverage: The last rows of the west balcony sit under the 77 Club, Suites, and Press Box, giving some overhead cover.
Who Should Sit Here
Balcony Sideline at Memorial Stadium suits fans who want a big-picture, elevated sideline view and don't mind sitting high up. The second-tier perspective is a strong choice if you like to watch plays unfold across the whole field. West-side fans in the back rows also get a bit of overhead protection.
Balcony Sideline Seating Details
These are second-tier sideline sections on both the east and west sides of the stadium. The east balcony sections are the larger of the two, with as many as 40 numbered rows and entry tunnels at Row 16. The west balcony sections are smaller at 14 rows, which makes quick trips to the concourse easier.
Views from the Balcony Sideline
From the second tier, the elevated sideline vantage lets fans see all areas of the field. It's the highest and furthest view among the non-premium sections, trading proximity for a complete look at the play.
Sun & Shade
If you want some overhead cover, aim for the last rows of the west balcony, which sit beneath the 77 Club, Suites, and Press Box. The east balcony's larger, 40-row layout is the pick if you'd rather have more seating options and don't need the coverage.
