East Carolina - Dowdy Ficklen Stadium

Section: Bottom 3/4 of 27



The ECU Marching Pirates is the dominant spirit organization at East Carolina University. The band entertains over three-hundred thousand fans each year, performing at ECU football games and making guest appearances at NFL games and regional high school marching band festivals. The band's style is both traditional and innovative: exciting arrangements of diverse musical styles, blended with traditional and contemporary marching, allow the band to create shows that are both musically and visually entertaining

With our new stadium expansions last year, the band now sits in section 27 the bottom 3/4 of that section. If visting school brings their band, they sit in section 12 in the top half.

If you have any question the ECU's Band also has a website, www.ecu.edu/band

Ole Miss - Vaught Hemmingway Stadium

Section: Back of Section 6



Seating Chart (Link)


Old Info

Spoiler: show

Ole Miss conveniently did the work for me in pointing where their band sits.

The visiting band is a bit of an interesting situation though. If they bring the whole thing (basically, close SEC opponents like MSU or LSU) they sit in sections 105 and 106 in the north end zone. If they bring part of the band, they usually sit in section S, the lower section only.





I'm going to hope this works since there is no Add Image button and no Help section on this site to tell me how to add images otherwise. If not maybe it'll at least add the link.

Also, while we're on the subject of stadiums, could they update the field? I'd like it if it didn't take EA 4 years to get the field right like it did after the last time they changed it, especially since there are other teams who changed theirs at the same time as Ole Miss who have updated fields.
