Coleman Coliseum Seating Chart

Sections at Coleman Coliseum

Coleman Coliseum'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.

• Club / premium level
• Upper Bowl — 200s
• Student Section
• Suites

Best seats at Coleman Coliseum

Lower-bowl center sideline sections give the best Crimson Tide basketball and gymnastics views. The bowl is deep, so aim for the lower sections for the cleanest sightlines, and sit opposite the student section to face the energy.

Tips before you go

Coleman Coliseum sits on the University of Alabama campus, with on-site lots and a short walk from campus parking. Alabama gymnastics packs the building, so arrive early for ranked SEC meets and basketball games to find a good lower-bowl seat.

How to read the Coleman Coliseum seating chart

Coleman Coliseum seats 15,000 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, so reading the chart starts at center and works outward. The lower bowl rings the floor closest to the action; a club or suite level sits in the middle; the upper bowl climbs above for the widest view. Lower-number sections sit nearest the action, and whether you are along a sideline or behind a baseline changes the view as much as the level does.

Three things decide an Coleman Coliseum seat: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. For an arena this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper tier at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. For a concert the stage usually sits at one end, so cross-check the official Coleman Coliseum map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
