Can a former Montana student tell me: can y'all see the entire far end of the field from the student section? It always looks like the students are breaking their necks to see the north endzone

It's a rectangle; it's no different than literally any other sideline seats in a stadium.

Their stadium is steep and close to the sideline. It feels like you might not be able to see the entire field from the corner

When I was in the MSU band in 2016 we sat across the field from the student section. It's not too bad. A little tough to see the close sideline but other than that not terrible.

The steepness actually helps you see more; you don't have to look over the crowd as much.
