When I go to away games, I like to get tickets near my team so that is what I look for when getting away game tickets. Until last year, the Cal football team bench was in front of the student section because the Pac 12 had a rule against student sections being behind the visiting team bench. Now the visiting team is there. The more comfortable seats are on the west side of the stadium where the Cal team now is. There are also more amenities on the west side including better bathrooms and food options. You will not be able to get seats right behind the UNC bench, but you can get bench seats on the east side. It is quite a walk to get to the lower seats on the east side. Someone else may want to talk about the east side of the stadium since I have only been there twice in the last 20 years for games. At least you will not be looking into the sun since it is a night game. I would check SeatGeek for tickets that are put up for sale by Cal season ticket holders since that is supported by Cal Athletics.

Are you staying in Berkeley? If not, I recommend staying somewhere near a Bart station since that is the easiest way to get to Berkeley and then take a shuttle to Memorial Stadium. Walking to Memorial is doable, but it is uphill. If you choose to drive, have a plan for parking as it can be expensive and hard to find especially near the stadium.

As an aside or two, I have been to every Pac 12 stadium before the conference fell apart. I have not been to any ACC stadiums yet, at least not ones outside of California. As far as I know, Cal Memorial Stadium has the distinction of being the only major stadium that has a major earthquake fault going through the field, the Hayward Fault. Did you see the movie, The Dark Knight Rises, with the football field that collapses? The largest quake I have been in was a 7.4 but that was in Eureka not Berkeley.

Do not worry! Clear and concise evacuation instructions are garbled through the PA system before the game in case of an earthquake. Just do not fall into the fault line!

For visiting fans: The fault line for the Hayward Fault is helpfully marked right on the field, so no need to wonder where it is!

Sounds like we are brothers in arms.

For a program that has won 750+ games, North Carolina football should garner more interest, but basketball diverts all of that.
