I was told by the TidePride folks, regarding endzone seats that the first row in the endzones begin with ROW 9, because the sidelines extend 8 rows lower, where the numbering begins with 1.
That said, I've sat front Row 9 in the endzones before and not even the Photographers standing between me and the field blocked the view.
Now, for you, that 6'7" fan standing in front of you in Row 11 for the entire game is another issue :lol:, but that could happen anywhere.
Row 11 is golden, although seeing the lanes and angles of the game do become lost. I'm not sure being a dozen or so row higher in the MSU section would be that much better. But low has advantages that high does not. You can see faces and hear shout and grunts.
