Section 616 at Reliant Stadium

- The furthest of any option from the court and located beyond the baselines, these seats are best suited for the fans just looking to get in the door at a cheap price. One of the most important considerations on the 600 level is row placement. These corner sections have up to 18 lettered rows of seating, running from Row A at the front, and ending in Row T. If you're attending the Saturday Final Four session and may be getting up and down a lot from your seats, pay extra to sit at the front of your respective section. You'll have a better chance of getting that beer up the stairs without spilling, and your knees will thank you the following morning.  As with corner seating on the lower levels, the sitelines from these corner sections are suited more for football than basketball. For example, when looking at seats in the SW corner, you'll want to stick to sections closer to the sideline (like 606) or those in the deep corner (like 601). These sections offer a more comfortable viewing angle towards the court.  

- Located on the second furthest tier from the field of play and running along the sidelines is the 600 Level sideline location. Seating in this area between the goal lines and 30 yard lines is known as the Gridiron Sideline (Sections 628-632 and 637-641 on the east side of the stadium, Sections 602-606 and 611-615 on the west side of the stadium). Sections between the 30 yard lines on this level are known as the Gridiron Midfield, and include Sections 633-636 on the east side and Sections 607-610 on the west side). Sections in this location have up to 20 rows of seating. 

(2026 Review) - Location: Any 600-level section — 52 sections wrapping the entire stadium.  Value Seating: The highest level outside the premium clubs, so some of the lowest-priced tickets are here.  Sections Included: Sidelines (601-616 and 627-642) and all endzone sections.  Good to Know: Views are high and far, but large video screens at both ends help you follow the action.  Who Should Sit Here  The Gridiron Level at NRG Stadium is built for budget-minded fans who want to be in the building without paying premium prices. If you care more about the atmosphere and the overall experience than about being close to the field, this level delivers a full view of the stadium at the lowest end of the price range.  Gridiron Level Seating Details  The Gridiron Level refers to any section in the 600s, with 52 sections wrapping around the stadium. It sits above every seating area except the premium Directors and Chairmans Clubs. Sideline sections (601-616 and 627-642) have 18 rows, labeled A-T, while endzone sections have 13 rows, labeled A-N. The level shares a concourse with the Loge seats, and you'll walk up a flight of stairs to reach the front of your section.  Views from the Gridiron Level  Expect high, distant views from up here. The perspective takes in the whole field, and the large video screens at both ends of the stadium make it easy to keep up with the play-by-play.  Good to Know  Because sideline and endzone sections have different row counts, the endzone sections top out at row N while sideline sections run all the way to row T. Note that reaching the front of any section requires climbing a flight of stairs from the concourse.
