Scott Stadium Seating Chart

Sections at Scott Stadium

Scott Stadium's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.

• 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

Scott Stadium seats 61,500 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.

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. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Scott Stadium map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Charlottesville area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near Scott Stadium, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at Scott Stadium runs to 61,500 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
