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.

Don't care what upgrades are made, what naming convention is used, who is the head coach.....

It will always be "The House that Joe Built" for me.

That garbage never should be played again at Beaver Stadium; it was an embarrassment and beneath a program like PSU. It actually became a parody of itself.

Instead of incessantly playing garbage like that, they just should go back to the future and let the Blue Band play throughout the game like what’s done at Michigan and OSU.

To the naked eye I would think the one side of Kyle Field is the highest seating distance from the field

The highest current seating is at DKR stadium at U Texas.
Where their "highest seating areas" are about 30 feet higher than Kyle field.

If Beaver Stadium goes to plan, it will have the 2nd highest "highest seating areas" (behind only DKR)

Good video. This guy knows his stuff.

He calls himself The Ginger or Ginger something I forget.

He's a diehard ND fan who does a number of podcasts as in political and I even saw him do some weather stuff. He's a little all over the map but this time of year he'll be into college football especially ND.
