Denny Sanford PREMIER Center Seating Chart
The largest arena in the Dakotas, the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center opened in 2014 in Sioux Falls and quickly became a major regional concert stop. The modern bowl hosts arena tours, the Stampede hockey team, and family shows with broad, comfortable sightlines.
Sections at Denny Sanford PREMIER Center
Denny Sanford PREMIER Center'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.
- 100s — lower bowl ringing the floor
- 200s — club and loge level
- 300s — upper bowl with a steeper rake
- Floor — general-admission or reserved seating for concerts
- Suites — premium boxes above the lower bowl
Best seats at Denny Sanford PREMIER Center
For concerts, lower-bowl 100-level sections facing the stage give the best view, while the 200-level club seats add comfort with strong angles. For hockey, center 100s at the red line are the prime ticket.
Tips before you go
The arena sits beside the Sioux Falls Convention Center and Orpheum, so follow signage to the right venue. Ample on-site parking ringing the building clears quickly after shows. The bowl is wide, so end-stage concert seats stay closer than in larger arenas.
How to read the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center seating chart
Denny Sanford PREMIER Center seats 12,000 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 Denny Sanford PREMIER Center 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 Denny Sanford PREMIER Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
