July 19, 20223 yr It was fairly pain free, I found 6 in a row high enough up to be out of the sun fairly early. Pretty easy and fast.
July 19, 20223 yr Thanks for letting us know that your incredibly early selection time allowed you to select desirable seats.

I've been fighting off Covid and was mostly trying to get across that it was quick and (relatively) pain free.

What row/sections do you think are high enough up to be out of the sun early? I've only sat in the student section. (Graduated a year ago) Hoping there's something good left when I get to pick.
July 20, 20223 yr You can get all the way up under the deck if you desire, but the columns that support the upper deck are around row 49-51. As others have stated, they are less of a problem if you are way up. Section 8 about row 33 is in the sun for approximately half the game if it's an 11:00 kick. Slightly lower rows get shade earlier as you move toward 9-10, but as you turn the corner to the end zone you might not get shade at all (again with the 11:00 kick). It has been pretty hot and sunny the last couple of years, but I think I've experienced every type of weather/ precip while sitting in that stadium. Just as I have experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows! You never know, I've been lucky enough to be down close for the Richard Peavy hit on Marcus Dupree (youngsters might need to look it up, but as close as I was it sounded like a minor car wreck). And I though I had pretty bad seats one year, but was about 35 rows up on the goal line with a beautiful view of the Stonie Clark goaline stop. So you never know, sometimes the game makes the seat great!

July 29, 20223 yr I got 4 tix in sec 11. 3 in row 31 and a single in row 37. there were 2 groups of 3 left in rows 1-5 in sec 11. sec 12 had a lot of tix. not sure if I'll get any shade later in the game but whatever.

July 31, 20223 yr If I wanted enjoyment out of life I wouldn’t be going to any Longhorn football games
August 2, 20223 yr Snagged 2 OU tickets today during my selection time. Last row of the upper deck on the east side, about the 45 yard line. Please sweet baby Jesus be overcast!

August 9, 20223 yr Haha - I just got the same thing. Looked in the app and tickets are all loaded now.

I just remember a steady cold-ass rain…it poured and ou poured it on. Ugh. I do remember sleet at the ‘91 Cotton Bowl. Now, THAT was miserable. And my apologies. Why the hell am I bringing up such misery?
August 10, 20223 yr Oh for fucks sake. I was there. It was cold it was wet it was miserable but it wasn’t fucking sleeting. Temp was 49 degrees at kickoff and the rain actually brought it up a bit. Physics….how does it work. Don’t make shit more horrible than it was. Which was pretty fucking horrible.
August 10, 20223 yr After last year, I’d take cold and rainy. I’ve never actually had a cold OU experience. Been going since starting school in 2010 and it’s been somewhere between warm and really hot every time. I did miss 2019, which has essentially perfect weather, but the game was so infuriating I’m not even that mad about it.
August 10, 20223 yr My selection was last Wednesday but I missed it b/c I was whitewater rafting at the time on the Snake River in WY and had no signal. This concludes my humble brag. By the time I got to a signal, they’d chosen for me and put me 20+ rows up in the upper deck with the sun on my neck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We had 3 late hit/PF penalties on 3rd down that kept drives alive where OU subsequently scored….

Take a hat and sunscreen
August 12, 20223 yr I just snagged my OU seats. There weren't a lot of great options left. I'm endzone upper level row 14. Anyone sat in these sections before?

Lot of sun but with a steady breeze. Take a hat and sunscreen Yeah if you’re literally at the top you’ll get some wind action that the people in the rest of the section won’t get. Plus, any seat anywhere in the upper deck is still a great sight line…. Edited August 12, 20223 yr by Ignatius

It did sleet that day, and it has been recorded with high surface temperatures (not totally unlike hail on 100 degree day). The temps at 3000 and 6000 feet are a factor, the surface temp is almost irrelevant. Yes, it can also sleet on some parts of the stadium and not others.
August 16, 20223 yr Just went down to Bellmont to have my season tickets printed out on paper. Only two old geezers in front of me, so I was out of there in about 12 minutes. Edited August 16, 20223 yr by Armybrat

Sat in 14 many times. As long as you're in row 30 or above you're okay. It's not the greatest of views but it's no too bad, and at least you're downstairs. There's nothing worse than sitting in an upper deck at a football stadium. Feels like you're watching the game from another zip code.

I have sat in a similar section quite a few times. If it's like the last couple years it's hot as shit; take a hat, sunscreen and shades. During halftime, I'd grab a beer and go sit in the 'Creative Arts' hall to get some air conditioning, but I'm on the wrong side of 40.

The comment above is true, except 1st quarter 1999 Cotton Bowl from the upper deck you couldn't see the field due to fog. IIRC it got better reasonably quickly. But maybe the first 5-7 minutes of clock time, it was hard to tell what was going on. What went on all day was Run Ricky, Run!
August 18, 20223 yr I just snagged my OU seats. There weren't a lot of great options left. I'm endzone upper level row 14. Anyone sat in these sections before? I sat upper deck end zone as a freshman. Better than the lower deck seats I had as a senior. Obviously you’d rather be sideline, but it’ll be fine. Upper deck is much better at the Cotton Bowl in general.

It can, and frequently does, sleet when surface temps are above freezing.
