Seating Charts By

SHI Stadium is a horseshoe-shaped, bowl venue with two primary sideline decks (east and west), an open south end (student section / scoreboard), and upper decks on both sides. The official Rutgers site and interactive maps let you preview sections and see row/seat orientation before you buy.

Understanding the SHI Stadium Seating Chart

The best seats at SHI Stadium depend on whether you want the play-by-play vantage (mid/upper sideline), the loudest college atmosphere (south student end), or comfort and amenities (club/loge).

Main seating zones (what they mean for fans)

  • Lower sideline (best sightlines): The lower-bowl sideline sections give the clearest view of game action — ideal if you want to follow plays closely and feel part of the action. These are often the most desirable and pricier sections.
  • Mid/upper sideline (best overall perspective): Upper deck sideline seats put the entire field in view — great for reading formations and seeing the bigger tactical picture. They’re often a smart tradeoff between price and view.
  • South end (student section / loudest atmosphere): The south end houses large student sections (added in the 2009 expansion). If you want full-throttle gameday energy and chants, sit here — but expect standing, singing, and a younger crowd.
  • Endzone seats (budget & photo ops): Endzone seats are usually cheaper and a fun place to catch touchdowns up close, but the sideline view is limited for many plays. Good value if you want to cheer on scores and enjoy cheaper tickets.
  • Club / loge & suites (comfort & perks): The East mezzanine has premium loge/club seats and the Provident Bank (stadium) Club offering indoor bars, better concessions, and climate-covered seating. Perfect for a comfy, amenity-driven experience.

Where are the home and visitor sections?

  • Rutgers (home) sideline: Commonly reported around the 120s-range on the seating chart (closer to Sections like 125). These are the sideline seats and where the Rutgers bench and coaching area are located.
  • Visitor / away fans: Visitor seating is typically placed along the west sideline near sections in the 100s (sections ~101–113 or specifically 111–113 in many games). If you’re buying through an away-team allotment, expect to be seated near the visitor bench

Choosing seats at SHI Stadium: factors to consider

  1. View vs. atmosphere: Want a tactical view? Pick upper sideline seats for the best field perspective. Want raw energy and chants? Sit in the south student end.
  2. Budget: Upper deck corners and endzone seats typically cost less. Single seats and later-release inventory can be cheaper on resale markets.
  3. Comfort & accessibility: Opt for club/loge seats or suites if you value restrooms inside the club, quicker concessions, and more legroom. ADA seating info and elevators are listed on the stadium’s guest pages.
  4. Noise & family friendliness: If you don’t love loud traditions (e.g. the cannon crew in the northwest corner), avoid nearby sections. For a family atmosphere, aim for upper sideline seats away from the student end.

🏟 Best Seats Guide at SHI Stadium

  • Best Overall View:
    Lower sideline sections (around the 120s) give you a close, clear look at both sidelines and the full field.
  • Best Value Seats:
    Upper sideline seats — elevated enough for a full-field view, usually cheaper than lower bowl tickets.
  • Best Atmosphere:
    South end zone student sections — loudest, most spirited part of the stadium with constant energy.
  • Best for Families:
    Upper sideline or corner sections away from the student end — quieter, easier to manage with kids.
  • Best Premium Experience:
    Club & Loge seating on the east mezzanine — includes access to lounges, premium concessions, and extra comfort.
  • Best for Visiting Fans:
    West sideline visitor sections (100-level) where away-team ticket allotments are placed.

Practical Tips for Gameday (Entry, Parking, and Accessibility)

  • Gates: SHI Stadium opens multiple gates (A–E); consult the stadium map for the gate closest to your section. Plan for train access via New Brunswick if you’re coming from NYC.
  • Cashless stadium & concessions: SHI Stadium is now cashless at concession and team-shop points of sale—bring a card or use the on-site cash-to-card kiosks.
  • Bring a cushion: Many seats are bench-style without backs; a portable stadium cushion can make upper rows more comfortable.

ADA Accessibility at SHI Stadium

SHI Stadium offers multiple ADA seating areas across the lower and upper levels, with companion seating available nearby. Accessible parking is located in designated lots close to stadium entrances, and shuttle services help fans with mobility needs reach their gates.

Elevators are available for access to upper decks, and guests can find wheelchair escorts, ADA restrooms, and assistance at Guest Services kiosks throughout the venue. Rutgers encourages fans to contact the ticket office in advance to secure ADA seating for Scarlet Knights football games.
