Tips before you go
You need a parking pass bought in advance for every lot except the Gray Lot, which takes cash only. Lots open four hours before kickoff, and tailgating is allowed in every lot except H-Burgundy until kickoff. By Metro, take the Blue or Silver Line to Morgan Boulevard; the stadium calls it about a mile, or a 20-minute walk, with no shuttle. Bags must be clear and no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. General gates open two hours before kickoff.
How to read the Northwest Stadium seating chart
Read the section number by its first digit. The 100s and 200s are both on the Main Concourse, the 300s are the Club Level, and the 400s are the Upper Concourse. The Dream Seats, numbered 1 to 42, line up with the 100-level sections that share their numbers.
Suites have their own numbers. The Lower Suite Level runs from 101 to 242, the Upper Suite Level holds suites 301-317, 356-388 and 427-442, and the Loge boxes, 318 to 354, sit above the west end zone. The 1932 Club is above the east end zone on the fifth-floor suite level.
For accessible seating, buy seats marked accessible through SeatGeek, the stadium's ticket partner. Accessible parking is in Lots E, F and H, shuttles with wheelchair lifts run from the Gray Lot, and elevators sit next to Gates A and E.
