Full detailAbout Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium
DKR is an open-air bowl, closed by the 2021 south end zone. It has two tiers: a lower level with low, two-digit sections (the Texas bench sideline around 3 to 6, the visitor sideline around 27 to 30, plus ends and corners) and a 100-level upper deck. The west sideline (sections 1 to 8 and 101 to 109) is the shade side, which matters in the Texas heat, while the east side (25 to 32 and 124 to 132) bakes at kickoff. Student seating concentrates on the east side and south-east corner under Godzillatron. The best sideline seats are the lower west midfield (3 to 5); confirm exact numbers on the official chart.
A large open-air bowl on the University of Texas campus, closed into a fuller bowl by the 2021 south end zone project. It has a lower level around the whole bowl plus sideline upper decks (west in 1971, east in 1998) and a built-up north end (2007-08). The signature feature is Godzillatron, one of the largest videoboards in college football, at the south end.
