The Sanford Stadium is huge and one of the best atmospheres in the country. The seating is plentiful and the views are clear. The best place to sit if you are a real fan would be in the student section. Gate 1, Gate 3 and Gate 4A are the student gates. Or if buying by section you should buy in Section 109-114, 138-143 or 307-313. You won't regret sitting in these sections if you are new in town or up for an experience of a lifetime.
