Best seats

Try to find shade.  That Charlotte sun is BEAMING!  Sat in the non-shaded side of the 100s against the Bengals one year.  My son was shirtless before the end of the 1st quarter.  I typically sit near the back of 231 in the shade, but I'd much rather be midfield somewhere.

Also, maybe not be a risk you want to take.. but I've had pretty good luck buying tix right before walking it.  Sat in club level pretty affordably in Luke's last game.

Best seat: my living room.

Only ever been to one game (2005 opener vs. the Saints) and it was a miserable experience. Heat, sunburn from hell, overpriced food/drinks, and almost got in a fight with some drunk guy over a misunderstanding about tipping one of the stadium vendors.

Nevermind that we lost the game and that the tiny stadium seats are a (literal) pain in the ass for larger folks like myself.

Ever since then the appeal of the in-person "gameday experience" has been lost on me. Probably doesn't help that I came home to the coast to a hurricane warning with 24 hours to prepare.

What a time 😖

Trying to find seats to take my grandson. Can anyone help? Is upper level row one good seats or are they nosebleeds? Hard to find a block of 3 tickets. 

It’s all about what you’re comfortable with.  Row 1 up top would be a fantastic spot for the grandkids.
 

Upper level

Pros: All-22 view, fun fans

Cons: Stairs can be a bit much, longer walks to concessions.

Lower lever

Pros: Better amenities, closer to the field, fewer stairs

Cons: $$$, end zone seats limit views, more business-casual than fan pit.

This might help you

one thing is certain you really don’t want to be on the sun side during sept to mid October. You will fry 

the shade is on the Panthers side of the field. I have tickets in 342 and I’m covered all season long but I’m up near the big windows protected by the overhang 

But not all seats on that side are covered.  Just take that situation indoors consideration 

good luck

Is section 545 seats 16, 17, 18 in the shade?

I’m not really sure because of  how the stadium curves vs how the sun moves in the fall 

if it’s on the home team side, same side as my section, it might not be directly beating down on you.  If it is in the sun, wear a hat, lots of sun screen and plenty of water.  Of course it may be cloudy so it won’t  matter.

First few rows of the upper deck aren't nosebleeds at all. I actually prefer the upper deck, better view of the whole field and it has more of a working class feel which makes it rowdier up there lmao. I'd almost suggest two or three rows up though. Pending on how old your grandson is, I swear I feel like some of the first few rows might have some sort of gate or barrier that I could see it being difficult to see over if you're super short. Maybe I'm dreaming this my PSL's are on row 23 so idk.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
