Including premium seating...

1. 10 percent

2. 20 percent

3. 30 percent

4. More

LSU: More. Over 30 percent easily. In fact, just over 34% of Tiger Stadium's projected 2014 capacity will be chairbacked seating of all types.

All the gold or purple colored seats in the following pics are chairbacks. Bleachers are plain aluminum.


I'm certain Tiger Stadium has by far the largest percentage of chairbacks in the SEC. And would compare favorably to most of the other big stadiums around the country (100K). Just hoping some of the other fan bases will chip in with answers. TIA.

Yup. I was looking at NCAA venues. I know schools like Stanford have a high percentage of chairbacks as well, but that's a smaller stadium.

Looking exclusively at places like The Big House, The Horse Shoe, Beaver Stadium, etc.

Gotcha. Looks like more, but i know the other side of the stadium doesn't have as much

Is this including permanent charibacks, or chairbacks that ticket holders purchase for a season? Cause that pick is posted has a lot of those

None, except for premium seating. Which is why it's only 20%.

Tiger Stadium is 34.2%. I always count them once before spring practice a twice the last two days before our 3rd home game.

I checked your numbers and came up with 34.554%. Not sure where we differ, but close enough.
