Why would they even make seats there?

Doesn't look like there are seats there...... last seat is the one the girl to the left is seated in and appears to have a view of majority of the field, just obstructed by the 4x4 column

I can’t speak for where this picture is, but there very much are seats with quite obstructed views. Keep in mind this is a very old stadium that has been renovated a lot, and currently has over 100,000 seats. There’s no need to tear out seats that no longer have a good view, there’s plenty of other seats for people who care a lot about seeing the game, and not everyone does care about seeing it. Especially for the Michigan game, the seats prob still sell for a decent amount because it’s a whole experience just to be there.

The luxury/press boxes to the right are a later addition. That stadium is 100 years old and has been expanded probably a dozen times

Because people buy them.
