If you value shade, roomy seating, and easy access to an indoor lounge, this zone delivers a relaxed, upscale gameday from one of the best vantage points in the building.  Colonnades Club Seating Details  The club runs along the Illinois sideline, positioned between the 100- and 200-level seating. This elevated placement puts you right on the action while keeping you on the less sunny side of the field, where every seat is fully covered. Fans sit in extra-wide, padded chairs with backs, and the climate-controlled club lounge is just a few steps away.  Views from the Colonnades Club  From this elevated sideline perch, the Colonnades Club offers what are described as the best sight lines in the entire stadium. The center-sideline angle gives you a clear, balanced look at the full field of play.  What's Included  Comfortable Seating: Extra-wide, padded chairs with backs — the most comfortable outdoor seats at Memorial Stadium.  Club Lounge: A climate-controlled reception area steps from your seat with premium food and beverage options, upscale furniture, and numerous televisions to enjoy before and after the game.  Private Restrooms: The exclusive club area features its own private restrooms.  Sun & Shade  Because the club sits on the less sunny side of the field and all seats are fully covered, you're protected from both sun and the elements — a real advantage for warm early-season games or unexpected weather.
