Tips before you go

Campus parking is limited on game days, so arrive early or use the park-and-ride options. Tickets to marquee games are tough to find, and the building is loud from warmups on, so be ready for a sustained, deafening atmosphere.

How to read the Allen Fieldhouse seating chart

The Allen Fieldhouse chart divides 16,300 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage across 6 named sections — Lower bowl, Center court sidelines, Endline sections behind the baskets, The student section behind one basket, Upper bowl, and Press and suite areas above the floor. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.

When you weigh a Allen Fieldhouse ticket, three variables do the work: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. That's why Press and suite areas above the floor and Lower bowl can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Allen Fieldhouse, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Lawrence map before checkout.
