Lower Sideline at Memorial Stadium

Features & Amenities

Last verified and reviewed:

  • Prime Sideline Location: Lowest level of seating behind the sideline, home to some of the closest seats to the action at Memorial Stadium.
  • Near the 50-Yard Line: Sections along here offer the possibility of sitting near midfield, combining quality and proximity.
  • Student Sections: Sections 9, 10, and 11 are designated student sections for Nebraska games.
  • Loud Atmosphere: This area and the adjacent sections are likely to be one of the loudest places on gameday.
  • Obstruction Caveat: Pillars at row 40 obstruct the seat view from higher rows — worth knowing before you sit up top.

Who Should Sit Here

The Lower Sideline at Memorial Stadium is for fans who want to be as close to the action as possible, along the sideline and potentially near the 50-yard line. If you thrive on a loud, high-energy crowd, this is one of the best places in the stadium to take it all in.

Lower Sideline Seating Details

This location sits on the lowest level of seating behind the sideline. Sections along the sideline have 47 numbered rows, with lettered rows in front of some sections. For Nebraska games, sections 9, 10, and 11 are designated student sections.

Views from the Lower Sideline

Being on the lowest level along the sideline puts you close to the field for one of the best vantage points offered at Memorial Stadium. Be aware that pillars at row 40 obstruct the seat view from the higher rows, so sightlines suffer the further back you go.

Sun, Shade & Cover

Rows 40 and above are covered, which can be tempting on a hot or rainy day — but remember that pillars at row 40 obstruct the view from those higher rows. Weigh the cover against the sightline trade-off before choosing a seat up top.

    Possible Tripping Hazard — I was at the April 13 spring game sitting in section 39 row 20 seat 20. I saw 5 people fall down and several others trip. This is right at the start of the curve and is a very bad trip hazard. people are looking up for the section and trip at the short narrow step.

  • Are there view obstructions in Section 5 Row 42 at Memorial Stadium?

    There are beams located at Row 37 which act as a support for the upper level sections just above. This leaves seats in Rows 38 and higher with the potential to have obstructed views down to the field. We would recommend searching for seats in Rows 36 and lower to avoid this potential issue.

    Seat view from Section 5 Row 44
    The seat view above (taken from Section 5 Row 44) shows the support beams which start at Row 37. Seats any higher up in the section will have the potential for obstructed views, especially those closest to the aisle.
