Tiger Stadium seating chart: sections, rows, sun and shade
Tiger Stadium has 157 seating sections and holds 102,321 fans. The lower bowl runs all the way round: 100s on the west (LSU) sideline, 200s in the north end zone, 300s on the east (visitors) sideline and 400s in the south end zone. Above both sidelines sit the 500 level and the 600 level upper deck, and the south end zone has the South Stadium Club (550s) and Skyline Club (650s). No seats are under a roof, so every section can get sun.

Which side of Tiger Stadium is in the shade?
Sit on the south end zone for shade; the east (visitors) sideline gets the most sun. Average minutes of direct sun per seat for Mississippi State at 11:00 am: lower bowl east 217 min, lower bowl north 209 min, 500 level east 208 min, upper deck east 207 min, Skyline Club south 206 min, upper deck west 204 min, 500 level west 203 min, lower bowl west 202 min, lower bowl south 144 min, South Stadium Club south 89 min. For afternoon kickoffs the sun is in the southwest, so the west stands shade their own seats first and the east upper deck stays sunny longest. Night kickoffs in November start after sunset, so no seat gets sun.
