Bought GA last year, ignored all the ushers and sat everywhere! Ended up spending a fair amount of time in the main stands during that monsoon thing that happened on Friday, which I was completely and utterly unprepared for. Watched the ALMS and WEC starts from the turn 1 grass, it was adequate for the start but not where I'd want to spend an entire race.
Echoing what everyone has said above, on the straight between 15 and 16, up high, is where it's at. You get the longest sustained view of the cars and ample interclass passes and lockups through the dual hairpins. Close to all the food and drink amenities and the sponsor areas. Those stands were also the only spot I saw with roving beer sales in the stands, so that's a bonus.
I booked my hotel room WAY in advance before the UT schedule was revealed, just in case UT had a home game (they have a bye week this year). Can't wait to go back!
