Arthur Ashe Stadium's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Courtside and Loge — lowest tier closest to the baseline
- Lower Promenade — mid-lower ring
- Suite level
- Upper Promenade — the vast upper tier
- Player and guest boxes near court level
Best seats at Arthur Ashe Stadium
Loge sections behind the baselines, not the sidelines, give the truest read on serve depth and rallies. The upper Promenade is genuinely far from the court, so if budget allows, any Lower Promenade row is a meaningful upgrade.
Tips before you go
Take the 7 train to Mets-Willets Point — it drops you a short walk from the grounds and skips brutal Flushing traffic. Day session grounds passes let you roam the outer courts; sun on the upper east side of Ashe is intense in early rounds.
How to read the Arthur Ashe Stadium seating chart
Arthur Ashe Stadium seats 23,771 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.
Three things decide a Arthur Ashe Stadium seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Arthur Ashe Stadium map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.
