FirstBank Amphitheater Seating Chart
Set in a former rock quarry in Franklin south of Nashville, FirstBank Amphitheater opened in 2021 with a covered seating area backed by a sloping lawn and wooded hillsides. The natural-bowl setting and modern production host major touring acts through the warm season.
Sections at FirstBank Amphitheater
FirstBank Amphitheater'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.
- Pit — standing area directly in front of the stage
- Reserved seating — covered chairback sections on the lower slope
- General admission lawn — open grass seating up the hill
- VIP areas — premium decks and box seating
Best seats at FirstBank Amphitheater
Reserved chairback sections just behind the pit give the best mix of comfort and proximity under the roof. On the lawn, set up center about a third of the way up where the quarry slope keeps the stage in view.
Tips before you go
Bring a blanket or low chair for the lawn, where tall chairs are usually restricted to the back. The quarry setting means walking slopes, so wear sturdy shoes. It sits south of Nashville near Franklin, so plan for post-show traffic out of the lots.
How to read the FirstBank Amphitheater seating chart
FirstBank Amphitheater holds 7,500 across a fan of seating that all faces one stage, so reading the chart comes down to a single axis: distance from the stage. Reserved pavilion or orchestra sections sit closest and are usually covered; numbered rows climb back under the roof, and beyond them the general-admission lawn rises on open grass. The lower the section number, the closer to the stage — and the side you sit on decides whether you face the performers straight on or at an angle.
Three things decide an FirstBank Amphitheater seat: how far back you are, whether you are covered or out on the open lawn, and how centered you are on the stage. For an amphitheater this size, the value sweet spot is usually the last few covered rows at center or the front of the lawn — close enough to see the stage, cheap enough to justify, and shielded from sun or a passing shower. Lawn seating is first-come within its area, so arrive early, and cross-check the official FirstBank Amphitheater map before you buy.
