Best seats at Climate Pledge Arena
We found no official best-seat guide or bench-side information. The lower bowl is numbered 01 to 26, and the 100s and 200s are upstairs, so a section like 105 is on the Upper Concourse, not in the lower bowl. The WaFd Bank Club seats sections 13 to 15 and the Symetra Club sections 01, 02 and 26. The Moët & Chandon Impérial Lounge comes with opera boxes of four seats.
