Sun Bowl Stadium Seating Chart

Sections at Sun Bowl Stadium

The Sun Bowl Stadium chart lists 5 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 sidelines — main seating along both sides
• End zone sections — behind each goal line
• Upper rows — back of the mountainside-set bowl
• Student section — designated UTEP seating
• Press and suite level — premium covered seating

Best seats at Sun Bowl Stadium

Sideline seats on the west side around midfield give the best view of the field and the mountain backdrop while avoiding the late-afternoon sun. Higher rows take in the full Franklin Mountains panorama.

Tips before you go

The high-desert sun is strong even in cool months, so bring sunscreen and water. The stadium is set into the hillside, so expect stairs and slopes reaching upper sections. Follow campus game-day routing to the designated UTEP lots.

How to read the Sun Bowl Stadium seating chart

The Sun Bowl Stadium chart divides 46,670 seats around a field across 5 named sections — Lower bowl sidelines, End zone sections, Upper rows, Student section, and Press and suite level. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.

Three things decide a Sun Bowl 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 Press and suite level and Lower bowl sidelines — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the El Paso 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 Sun Bowl Stadium. Match your ticket to the official Sun Bowl Stadium map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
