Best Seats at Kinnick Stadium
Traditionally, the best seats in which to watch the game from in Kinnick Stadium would be located as close as possible to the 50 yard line, which in this stadium would be section 127 on the Hawkeye's bench side and section 105 on the opposing team's bench side. It should be noted that one would probably want to sit up a few rows (roughly 8-10) if you are seated in a section behind a team bench, as it is possible the players and staff on the field could obstruct one???s view.
