On December 31, 2011, the Sun Bowl Stadium will host the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. Tied with the Sugar and Orange Bowl, the Sun Bowl is the second-oldest bowl game, played annually since 1916. The game features teams from the Pac-12 Conference and the ACC. The Stadium is located on the campus of University of Texas at El Paso and lies just next to the smaller stadium that was previously used for this bowl game. The stadium holds the title for being the closest major American stadium to a foreign country. It is less than half of a mile from the Rio Grande River in Mexico. The stadium is named for the Bowl it hosts and was opened in September of 1963. Below is a seating guide for those fans attending the Sun Bowl game this year and hope to find the best seats possible at the Bowl Stadium.
The Sun Bowl Stadium features just one level of seating with a capacity of 51,500, which was not reached until 1981. Before then, the stadium sat just 30,000. A pressbox addition as well as the expansion of the Eastside stands resulted in the current capacity of the Sun Bowl Stadium. The outdoor football stadium has and Eastside and Westside section. The two sections do not completely surround the stadium and the south endzone is vacant of any seating and just features the school's logos. The Eastside section serves as the sideline for the Pac-12 team, while the Westside section serves as the ACC team sideline. The Eastside section has 84 rows of seating and the Westside section has 67 rows. For those fans looking for a truly memorable experience by being as close as possible to the game will want to consider seats in the first few rows of sections 4, 5, and 6 on the Westside or 21, 22, or 23 on the Eastside. These sections feature seats that are closest to the 50-yard line in the center of the stadium. Here, fans will catch every glimpse possible of all the action happening on the field. These tickets hold the highest price tag of any of the seats in the stadium.
While there are not different levels at the Sun Bowl Stadium, there are still a variety of price options. Fans can choose how far or close they wish to be from the field, which constitutes price in itself.
