Scott Stadium Seating Chart
Scott Stadium is the home of Virginia Cavaliers football at the University of Virginia, set against the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville. The bowl dates to 1931 and expanded with an upper deck, keeping an open south end that frames the mountain skyline.
Sections at Scott Stadium
The Scott Stadium chart lists 6 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Lower Bowl — sideline and end zone
- Hospitality / club level
- Upper Deck — west side
- Student Section — hill and end zone
- Bryant Hall premium
- Accessible platforms
Best seats at Scott Stadium
West-side lower sideline sections near midfield give shade and the best football angle. Upper-deck seats on the west side reward you with the open south end and the Blue Ridge Mountains behind the field.
Tips before you go
UVA tailgating is a tradition, and the Charlottesville fall weather can swing fast — pack layers for a noon kickoff that turns chilly. Park in the university lots and use the game-day shuttles to avoid the congested campus roads.
How to read the Scott Stadium seating chart
Start with the shape of the room: 61,500 seats around a field, split into 6 sections — Lower Bowl, Hospitality / club level, Upper Deck, Student Section, Bryant Hall premium, and Accessible platforms. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.
Three things decide a Scott Stadium seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. Two sections apart — say Accessible platforms and Lower Bowl — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Charlottesville venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Scott Stadium. Match your ticket to the official Scott Stadium map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
Sizewise, Scott Stadium holds 61,500, which puts it 2nd of 12 Virginia venues in this guide: Lane Stadium (65,632) is the next size up, Jiffy Lube Live (25,000) the next size down.
