Tips before you go

Skywalks connect the fieldhouse to most downtown hotels, so you can walk from your room to your seat without going outside. Pre-game at the St. Elmo Steak House if you can get the reservation.

How to read the Gainbridge Fieldhouse seating chart

Gainbridge Fieldhouse seats 17,923 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 Gainbridge Fieldhouse 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 Gainbridge Fieldhouse map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
