  • Mcleod Seating

    This may be a silly question, but I'm curious if I made a poor purchase. I have only been to a few games at Mcleod and have only been higher up on the sides. I got a set of tickets with our friends that are on the end line front couple rows. Are we going to be blocked by cameras/cheerleaders the whole game? It certainly appeared that may be the case from watching my first game since buying the tickets tonight. Thanks for anybody's assistance on this.

    Where at? Can you point to it on the map?

    Without knowing, I'm gonna say probably not. Cheerleaders are sitting down, and the cameras are mostly above. Only one or two are ground level, and both on swivel chairs. So...you'll probably be fine.

      We've sat in Row 5 (for 4 seasons - season ticket holders) along the south baseline, east side of the basket. The only obstruction is the basket structure at times. Those in front of you shouldn't be an issue.

      Enjoy the seats. It's fun to be close to the action.

        This was a photo I took a couple years ago during a WSU game from the north side. About row 5, IIRC

          There are no bad seats.

          when they had the bleachers on the concourse on the north side, some of those were bad because you couldn’t see the entire floor unless standing.

            This is the truth.

            There isn't a single seat you could sit in through the entire arena and go "This isn't good. I can't see anything"

              I'm in the first regular row looking directly down the base line at UNI's bench. The only time the cheerleader's interrupt the view is when the cheer & dance team switch ends after the first made basket. My view is sometimes obstructed when the action is in the far end corner on the SE side. I can live with young kids getting excited and standing up.

              If you find that you don't like your regular assigned seats, get up at the first time out and go sit in an unoccupied seat. Heaven knows there's plenty open seats in prime spots.

                There really aren't any bad spots in the McLeod, we are very lucky for that. You look at Carver or the Knapp Gym both are very poorly designed. Iowa has to have the most sterile atmosphere of major conference team, most of that is due to how the arena is set up.

                  Thank you for your feedback, everyone. It will be the Drake game so it should be pretty packed as usual for that matchup. Trying to find another game or two during the year to make it up as well. Thanks again!

                    Loyola is on a weekend as well, so that should certainly be one to circle on your calendar!

                      My cousin is so large that he was no comfortable in his seat when I take him to the game. I feel so bad for him as he love sports and is good cheering fan. I think they could do more to accommodate larger fans if they are really good fans.

                        45% of the arena has no arm rests to contend with

                          Yeah I wish he would have one of those seats so he can spread out!
