Sections at Yulman Stadium
Yulman Stadium breaks down into these 6 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.
- Lower West sideline — home-side seats closest to the field
- Lower East sideline — visitor-side lower seating
- End zone — seats behind the open end
- Upper West — second tier on the home sideline
- Club and suites — premium seating on the west side
- Berm and standing areas — casual spots near the ends
Best seats at Yulman Stadium
Lower West sideline sections near midfield give the best straight-on view from the home side with afternoon shade later in the day. For atmosphere, the student end zone is loud and close to the action.
Tips before you go
Uptown campus parking is limited on game days, so the St. Charles streetcar is a classic and easy way in. New Orleans heat lingers into fall, so the west-side seats that fall into shade as the sun drops are the comfortable pick.
How to read the Yulman Stadium seating chart
Yulman Stadium seats 30,000 around a field, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Lower West sideline, Lower East sideline, End zone, Upper West, Club and suites, and Berm and standing areas. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
Every Yulman Stadium seat is really the sum of three choices: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. Put Berm and standing areas and Lower West sideline side by side and the gap shows up immediately — in level, in price tier, and often in which half of the New Orleans room you land in. The best-seats notes above settle it for Yulman Stadium; just verify section, row, and seat on the official map before you pay.
Sizewise, Yulman Stadium holds 30,000, which puts it 3rd of 6 Louisiana venues in this guide: Caesars Superdome (73,208) is the next size up, Smoothie King Center (16,867) the next size down.
Building a seating chart for an event at Yulman Stadium
If your event lands at or near Yulman Stadium — a corporate block, a reception, a team dinner — start from the venue's real geography: sections like Lower West sideline and Berm and standing areas and the tiers around them set the footprint. Rebuild that footprint in the maker with rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and a head table where the format wants one, then assign guests and export a PDF for the New Orleans event-services team. You won't need anywhere near the full 30,000-seat configuration; private blocks live in clubs, suites, and adjacent banquet rooms — exactly the scale the tool handles.
