That's fair. Little bit of Jack Daniel's will do that to me sometimes.

Now I feel bad because you were cool about it.

I'm not sure if those are still the tickets given to the players' families, but those seats had great views of the entire field. Those would run you over $200 on StubHub.

See, I would disagree with this. That side of the stadium has only one entrance/exit for each section. The other side of the stadium (section 1) has two entrance/exit points in each section. The top exit leads to a little upper catwalk and makes that side of the stadium way less busy because the sections are split between two areas outside the stadium. If you go to the bathroom on either side, you'll notice a huge difference in the crowds. Additionally, if you sit lower in the bowl on the section 24 side, it will take you twice as long to get to the exit.

I'm going solely based on the view. They were the best seats I had and for the amount of times I had to walk up the steps (once or twice a game), it was worth it.

Ha - I'm flying into Chicago for a concert on Friday, then driving to Ann Arbor right after to stay at my mother's house before going to the BYU game, then driving directly back to Chicago for another concert Saturday night after the game. I hope we have good weather for the Chicago drive! Anyway - my season tickets are on the aisle on the 35 yard line 21 rows up on the Michigan side. I refuse to give these seats up since I have the aisle, but if I could pick any seats in the Big House, I would go dead center on the 50 yrd line - between rows 10 and 20. I've done row A before and it's just too close to get a good perception of the entire field. In all honesty, there really isn't a bad seat anywhere, but I would stick to your plan between the 40's and somewehere between rows 10 and 30. I also think that you can get a great deal if you wait to buy your tickets the morning of the game. There were a ton of tickets left for the Oregon State game and that was Harbaugh's first game, I can't imagine there are going to be any less tickets available for this game - and probably under face value too.

Everyone is different, but for you specifically, I would recommend somewhere around either of the two 40 yard lines, and then about midway up the stadium. That way you won't be too close where you can see the whole field, but won't be in the upper part of the bowl.
Hope this helps.

You heard right. Now back away...

Your longitude is good, get your latitude up to about 30-50 rows up and you've got the best seats in the house.

This is the level where you enter in. Easy in and out. High enough to give you a good perspective anywhere around the entire stadium. Saves you a lot of money if your seats are in the end zone.
If you want to sit between the 30's I'd opt for around row 40-50. This is where I sit during the spring game when you can pick your own seat.
The more seats in your tolerance zone the better chance of geting a more competitive price.

not unless you're 7 yrs old...
side note: I loved throwing the ball over the wall and watching idiots get tackled on the concourse, or try to come back in with the ball. Wish it happened more now, but they made it pretty difficult with the nets that don't "malfunction" any more.

IDK, having sat many games 40/40 I am a converted South End Zone guy now. I cannot tolerate not seeing the play develop (which is the sideline experience).
September 16th, 2015 at 7:00 AM ^
Like others have said, in reality there is not a bad seat in Michigan Stadium, but I also agree with this - if you want to see plays develop and get a good view of, say, a nice, sustained drive as it marches toward the end zone, being in or near an end zone section is probably best for that. Indeed, when I am able and my tickets have not been in those sections, I have been known to migrate to those sections during games.

I had north end zone seats, high up. You felt like a coach up there watching the plays develop "Watch the Tight End! Watch the tight End!". It was like an Xs and Os diagram come to life.
But you have to have a coach-level interest in the game to enjoy those seats. Otherwise the action moves kind of slow and laborious from that perspective.

I'd recommend skipping the Cubs game and spending the free time in Ann Arbor.
Oh and all seats in the Big House are amazing.

In the mid 90s I bought tickets to Memorial Stadium to see Michigan on the road and sat in front of a large steal beam that came down from the second deck. I though I had good seats since I did not see the beam!

The best seats that meet your criteria are in the President's box. It is between the 40s (in fact it's at midfield), you can see the whole field, and you aren't in the bowl at all, so you don't have to worry about being in the upper part of it. The only drawback here is that you will need a time machine to start endowing the scholarship several months ago, so you get invited in time for the BYU game.

All of them.

According to Harbaugh himself, it looks like you want to be as close to Section 25, Row 12, Seat 9 as possible.

While I'm not a big fan of sitting in the end zone, wherever you sit is a great seat.

I have season tix in row 19 and 23 and truth be told I think the best seats are rows 35-50. Enjoy the game and safe travels.

I just sat in row 53 in section 25 on Saturday and they were the best seats I've had at The Big House yet. Row 53 seemed perfect. I could see coming down 10-15 rows would be optimal.

The seats were on the 35 (section 24). I liked the perspective from that high up plus I was right next to the entrance to the tunnel. I've also sat on the 45 in te 32nd row and those seats were good (obviously) but it was a long walk up to the tunnel especially with everyone else on the move. I think that I like the higher up seats better. (It helps to have a boss who is one of the largest donors in the history of the university! He has a bunch of seats plus a box.)
