Section 316 at Paycor Stadium

- Sideline Location: The 300 Level runs along both sidelines of the stadium.  Split Sections: The upper level divides at rows 12 and 13, where concourse tunnels enter — rows 13 and above sit noticeably higher than those below.  Obstructed Views to Note: Seats near the aisles in rows 10–17 have partial obstructions from railings and other seating.  Accessible Seating: Available at the entry tunnels in every other section on the upper level.  Weather Cover: The last rows of the upper deck are among the only seats under cover.  Who Should Sit Here  The 300 Level at Paycor Stadium suits budget-minded fans who want a full sideline view of the action without paying for lower-bowl seats. It's also a smart pick if you'd rather trade a little distance for protection from Cincinnati's rain and snow.  300 Level Location & Details  The 300 Level sits on two sides of the stadium, running along either sideline. Each section splits at rows 12 and 13, where the concourse tunnels enter — creating a break between the lower and upper halves. Fans with tickets in row 12 and below walk down toward the field, while those in row 13 and above sit much higher up. Accessible seating is available at the entry tunnels in every other section on the upper level.  Views from the 300 Level  Expect elevated sideline views across the field. The view sits closer to the action in the lower half (row 12 and below) and considerably higher from row 13 up. Be aware that seats near the aisles in rows 10–17 have obstructed views caused by railings and other seating, leaving a portion of the field out of view when seated.  Good to Know  If you're choosing within this zone, aim for row 12 or below — you'll walk down to your seats and end up closer to the field. On the flip side, the last rows of the upper deck are some of the only seats under cover, a worthwhile tradeoff for the farther view on nasty snowy or rainy Cincinnati days. 

- Featuring nearly 40 rows of seating in some sections, the upper deck at Paycor Stadium is among the NFL's largest. With the seating split into upper and lower portions, row placement is the key to getting the best value for your money. Each section shares an entrance tunnel with an adjacent section. As you enter a section, you'll either go down (or across) to rows 1-12 or you'll immediately go up rows 13 and above. If you have trouble walking stairs, choose rows 7-12 where you'll endure the least effort. If you don't mind traversing a few stairs, you have a decision to make. You can opt for rows 19 and above where you'll be covered by the substantial roof. Or you can sit in rows 13-19 where you'll still have quick access to the concourse and all of its amenities. With how high the upper deck already is, you won't be sacrificing much in the way of good views as you continue to go higher. Despite your choice of row, the best views will be found near midfield in sections 308-312 and 338-342. These will also be the most expensive tickets. For a different experience or to save some money, try sections 315-317 where you can take in the Ohio River or 345-347 where you'll have good views of the west videoboard.
