Is this the WORST seat in the US? Arizona stadium features venue ‘blocks 90 percent of field’ and no video board view as fans warn others to ‘avoid seat at all costs’
At yesterday’s Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl, a fan found out what might be the worst seat in all of college football.
User @CFBcampustour messaged his supporters about a specific seat inside Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
Section 16, row 41, seat 2 was highlighted as one to ‘avoid… at all costs!’ for any game played on this site. The account owner called it “Easily one of the WORST seating locations at any college football stadium in the country.”

Sight lines only allow the occupant to see one corner of the end zone, and nothing else.
The account claimed the seat had 10 percent field visibility with photos showing only a small part of the end zone could be seen.
The user also pointed out that the location and no view of the video card at all.
Originally built in 1929 on the campus of the University of Arizona, the stadium has been the home of the school’s football team ever since.
The site’s initial capacity was 7,000 people, but it was gradually expanded and renovated over the following years.
This is all thanks to a giant concrete wall at this stadium, which was first built in 1929.
The last expansion in seating capacity came in 1988, when luxury boxes were built along with a new press box.
The current capacity of the Arizona Stadium is listed at 50,800 as of 2019, with a previous peak capacity of 57,800 in the mid-1990s.
A rivalry game against Arizona State University set their attendance record of 59,920 on November 23, 1996.
Earlier this year, the same Twitter account found a similarly poor view at Waldo Stadium, home of Western Michigan University. These seats appear to be tucked into a corner and are known as ‘hockey penalty benches’.
Other bad examples include a bead found at Ohio Stadium, home of The Ohio State University. While in the Southeast, the University of Tennessee has similar problems.
This year’s version of the Arizona Bowl pitted Ohio University against the University of Wyoming. Ohio emerged victorious, winning 30-27.
