Section 651 at Reliant Stadium

- The cheapest tickets for the 2016 Final Four are found in the 600 level sections behind each basket on either side of the court. When looking at tickets in these sections, do not expect breath-taking views or any hidden gems. These seats are for the die-hard fans who just want to say they were there when so-and-so won the championship. As a result, the atmosphere in these seats tends to be a little looser and a little more rowdy. Though budgets might be tough when looking at tickets in this seating zone, pay a few extra dollars to sit in the lowest row possible (near row A). Especially during the Saturday Final Four session that turns into a long day, this will keep you close to the concourse for quick trips to restrooms and refreshments. 

- Behind the endzone and on the second furthest tier from the playing field, the 600 Level Endzone seats are often referred to as the Gridiron Endzone. Comprised of sections 616-627 at the north endzone, and Sections 642-652 and 601 in the south endzone, these seats will have far views but also have some of the smallest seating areas with just 14 rows in each section. 

(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.
