The new East Side Premium area will be 564 seats at mid-field in sections 4 and 5. These seats will be sold on a season basis and will be reserved seating. Each seat will be comprised of a mesh style chair and accompanied by a bar rail that extends the length of the seating sections to allow each fan to have a place to put food, drink, and other personal belongings while you view the game.
Our team has worked hard to provide a luxury seating experience to the east side of Bridgeforth Stadium. As a result, bar rails have been installed for our East Side Premium ticket holders, allowing for a unique game day experience as well as providing the greatest amount of leg room and space of any section in the stadium. We believe that this luxury seating style in a prime location will become one of the most coveted spaces in Bridgeforth Stadium.
As a member of these sections our goal is to also provide dedicated in-game hawker services through our food service providers in order to sell directly to these fans in the section. This service would be provided throughout the game and would be operating exclusively in the center aisle between sections 4 and 5. Each seat will be a total of $935 for the season which breaks down to $635 for the ticket cost and a $300 Duke Club Seat Contribution. This price does not include processing fees.
Sections 1-8 on the East Side and all of the North End Zone (minus what is allocated for the MRD's, which hasn't changed over the years and will remain the same) are allocated as student and general admission. This project for sections 4-5 will not reduce the number we choose to designate to students but instead impact the overall general admission seating. It is important for JMU Athletics to continue the great atmosphere created by our student fans!
Note: In our current layout row A in both sections 4 and 5 will not have the same style bar rail due to spacing. Instead all of the seats in row A will have cup holders. This only affects Row A in both sections, all other sections would have a seat and bar rail combination. You will also notice that in the top corner of section 5 we have limited the seats in order to provide the best sightlines from these new premium areas and limit the East Side Box from blocking views.
The Southern Endzone Suites not only adds more premium elements to Bridgeforth Stadium but also provides some further functionality to the south endzone. The APC concrete patio will be extended forward and padding will be incorporated across the endzone in order to mimic the north endzone look and feel.
The new premium areas in the south endzone on the APC patio will consist of four dedicated suites, two on either side of the video board. Each suite will consist of 14 seats, eight of which will be high back mesh style chairs with cupholders, with an additional back row of six high-top mesh style swivel chairs accompanied by half circle bar top tables to create a two tier suite experience.
Each suite will have the ability to purchase food and beverage through JMU dining for each game. A sample menu of the 2024 pricing and offerings as a reference are linked in the button below. Menu and pricing is subject to change and an official menu will be published sometime this summer. This suite space will provide an exclusive and private viewing experience for you and your friends. We are finalizing some of the details but we hope to offer TV monitors within the suites to view in game feeds as well as offer dedicated portable bathrooms for the spaces in the endzone.
The space will cost a total of $33,058 for the season ($16,058 for tickets, $14,000 for Duke Club Seat Contribution, and $3,000 minimum Proud and True Fund contribution for parking benefits). These prices do not include associated processing fees. The parking benefits for each endzone suite includes 1 Deck, 1 G Lot, and 2 Convo passes, as long as the Proud and True donation minimum is met. These parking spaces would be in addition to other donor parking you may previously receive.
During each year there is a chance that suites throughout Bridgeforth stadium become available and would be added to a special selection process. If you are also interested in our various additional style suites throughout the stadium, including our field level suites and our main suite level suites, please fill out the form to be considered for all potential options. If one of these suites is available during your selection time, we will offer everything that is available.
All special selection processes are based on form submission by the appropriate deadlines as well as Duke Club priority point rank. Below you will find images of the other suite options within Bridgeforth Stadium.
K Lot will be introduced as a Duke Club Donor lot for the 2025 season. An annual Proud and True donation at the Purple Level ($500) is required. This lot will be marked as spot specific parking, allowing fans to select exactly the spot they want and secure it for every regular season home game in 2025. During the normal selection process in early June, based on your Duke Club Priority, donors will have the opportunity to select in the new K Lot parking area.
This parking lot has limited space with just over 100 total spots available. K Lot will not have a special selection process and once availability is gone via the online selection system, the lot will be sold out. Upgrades to the lot can be completed during the selection process at your designated time if spots are still available in K Lot. Please reach out to the Duke Club today if you have further questions regarding the K Lot. With the expansion to K Lot as a donor specific reserved lot, it will no longer be available to general fans on game day.
