then you're going to have really shitty seats. the seats in the corner at the Coliseum are absolutely wretched
Hate to say this, but we NEVER will buy away game tix through Rutgers for this reason. We had fun mingling with the BC fans at Chestnut Hill until we sealed the victory, and some drunk angry young woman bigger than me warned me that I was in a BC section when I cheered after we went ahead. I was afraid for my life.
Wisconsin was fine too, except the seats were packed close together and some of the dudes out there who live on a diet of cheese curds and beer were large enough to occupy 3 of their narrow seats. Good times.
I used to buy away tix through RU as a way to further support the program. But now that I'm giving RU several thousand instead of several hundred to attend games, I don't think about that as much anymore.
That said, I do buy bowl tix through the school (20 for the Pinstripe Bowl) because there are reasonable seating options.

You’ll be able to buy tickets for five dollars on game day and sit with the rest of our fans. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Didn’t they shift the field to the left, if you’re looking at it from the press box, during the last renovation? Making those end zone/corner and zone seats on that side of the stadium a lot closer to the field and they use to be (due to the track)?
@Caliknight
You are coming from NJ. There are a lot more tax the rich libs there than you will find walking around and SC game. The socialists are all over at UCLA.
The best think about the Coliseum is it's incredibly rich history. It's not a modern stadium. Seats aren't great, the action is a little far away, and the amenities aren't state of the art. It's gotten better, but you'd have to change the entire stadium to make it modern. I will say this. It's a lot better than the Rose Bowl.
@AreYouNUTS asked a question about the visitor seats in the corner. Seems from the website, aviewfrommyseat.com sections 212 and 312 is not too bad?
The corners are less ideal than some other areas for sure but the stadium is so vast that there just aren't a lot of truly great viewing areas.
Instead of building up, the older stadiums grew out. The Rose Bowl has the same issue. Conversely, Sofi is insane. Not a bad seat in that house. It feels like they just built it straight up.

See....when I look at that stadium on TV it appears that more than half the seats are a 1/4 mile from midfield/mid-court....but obviously haven't been there.
It will feel that way when you are there. It's a unique stadium given all that has happened there and you feel it. The Olympic flame, the more open side of the venue, it's historic. And that's a great thing. It's just old and there is only so much you can do about that without completely rebuilding it or at a minimum, massive amount of work to move the field. I'm not an engineer but at that point I doubt it would be worth it.
SC fans don't seem to bothered by it. Just understand it's old when you go there, the concourses are small, bathrooms are small, and the field will look far away almost no matter where seats are.
Thought that Wiscsonsin's stadium had that feel too. We were in the corner, and we could hardly see the action on the field when on the opposite corner.
Seeing any decent seats on the sidelines to be going for $125-180 dollars per ticket right now.
SHI stadium is fairly decent to pretty good.
SHI from a viewing perspective is much better than the Rose Bowl or the Coliseum.
There a lot of Rutgers complainers about what is going on there in terms of stadium amenities, parking and tailgating.
They are going to learn very quickly how great Rutgers has it. Even after the lacrosse stadium is built.
