DCF4PSU,
I estimate the west side height above the north is about 60 feet or a 6-story building

There is going to need to be a separate weather forecast for the folks sitting all the way up there. The bottom of this deck is above the top of the north end zone. If you are not good with heights, beware.

I have that number somewhere - but not handy. IIRC you are in the ballpark, but the actual number is just a bit less than that.

FWIW: TTBOMK, the only stadium with "higher seats" is a small part of the Darrell Royal Stadium at UTexas.

For comparisons sake, I think OSU is about 40-50 lower, even at its highest point (that is off the top of my head).... as are all the big boy stadiums in the SEC (aside from Texas)

The distance estimated is approximately from northend seating to the top of the concrete parapet the west side of the stadium. I was estimating the of the parapet, about 8 to 10 feet in height, figuring there’s always going to be people standing next to the parapet.

If I still had my AutoCAD software, I’d be able to nail it very closely.
