Red River Rivalry 2025 - 1st time attendee, what Sections should I be looking to purchase tickets in

[Kevin Tingley]

My son and I are out-of-state Texas fans, and I want to take him to his first Red River Rivalry game in Dallas. As a Texas native who’s never attended this game, I’d like to ensure we sit among fellow Longhorn fans. Which sections should I look for when buying tickets to be surrounded by Texas supporters?

Anything on the opposite 50 yards of the tunnel is the Texas section. Not a bad seat in the house. Last 2 years I’ve had the cheapest seats in the house very last row of the upper deck and it’s still a perfect view

Sec 7-23 lower, 107-127 upper.

Theres not bad seat in the upper IMO

The Texas half of the stadium. Start at the 50 and go around to the other 50. The side without the tunnel.

my favorite seats there are in the upper rows of the lower deck, dead middle end zone.

I'm doing the OSU game this year instead for my road game, but RRR is special. Enjoy!

Echoing what others have said, it is a good viewing venue so not really a bad seat.

Come to the food court. It's a good time there before the game.

I went to the game for 30+ years. A lady behind us complained about everyone standing up... before the game even started. A young guy told her, "Ma'am I'm sorry but we merely subsist 364 days every year waiting for these 4 hours." I told her everyone sits during the TV commercials.

My best tip on seating location: On the West (press box) side, sitting under the overhang of the Upper Deck above is a great location...if the temp is 90+ it's in the shade. Expensive seats but a super location beginning at about Row 40 and up.

My Senior year at UT my student ticket was on the East side lower deck halfway up...my left foot was on the 50 yard line and all UT on my right. The kid sitting on my left was an Oklahoma student. Sunny and hot, but perfect location.

You and your family will love the experience. There's nothing else like the electric crowd and the atmosphere. The fans who go to that game are the serious football fans.

Your kids will enjoy the State Fair so go very early and make it a day for them to remember.

My late father told me all about my grandfather taking him in 1936 the Texas Centennial when all the Art Deco buildings were new.
