The view from the top of East Stadium is incredible. In fact it's significantly better than the view from the first 30 or so rows on the lower bowls of East and West.

I never ventured Memorial East upper deck seats but Gaylord field, yes, one time (HS football game).  Similar designs.  In upper deck, can't read jersey numbers without binoculars.

 

 

BTW, now added concourse and HUGE Daktronics video board

@Hooked on Huskers I don't think anyone disagrees with you. Grass is fine, turf is fine, it's all fine. We all just realize that no matter our preference, we're not going to change the minds of the admins who put the surface on the field.

I would prefer natural grass with red endzones.

 

We all agree that field "look" happens a couple steps  down below, winning.

You are right. I pictured Kingdome type.

 

Anyhow .....

• Rejected plans for an AT&T style roof (Jerry's world) during the early stages of the stadium's design.
• The 1997 state referendum stated that the stadium would feature a natural grass surface, but artificial turf was installed because it was easier to maintain than natural grass. The potential damage to a natural grass field caused by Seattle's frequent downpour rain

The new surface at the Aviva Stadium took four days to complete with two machines working 24-hours a day. SISGrass is a 95% natural grass pitch

 

 

Final product ....

I for one, would love to hear more about the benefits of natural grass.
