NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Being that they have to be engineered to support loads, steel and steel products is about your best option. The cheapest would be a 2 line steel guardrail you see in industrial applications, but that would make a few parents nervous, not even sure it would be allowed in an arena such as SHAC. So after that it is a picket rail that currently is in place. Mesh panel rails, then SS cable railing. Then glass rails are the Cadillac of railings.
Building codes require 42" guardrails so you can't lower it, and believe you can't really even raise it either, not sure on that though? If they'd been smart about it maybe ran glass at a few locations for the ADA compliance factor and steel pickets like they have for the rest. I'm not sure why that still cannot be a temporary solution. I find it hard to believe if it's been 2+ years now and ADA hasn't gotten involved in investigating it. They either make it by the skin of their teeth with the lower ones maybe?

Can the SHAC just duplicate whatever the FargoDome is doing for their ADA seating?
Here's a pic I posted on the FargoDome thread a few years back when they were upgrading their seating area:
