Giant Center Seating Chart
The Giant Center in Hershey is the home of the AHL's Hershey Bears, the league's most decorated franchise. The 2002 arena seats around 10,500 for hockey and hosts concerts and family shows next to Hersheypark, with a compact bowl that keeps fans close to the ice.
Sections at Giant Center
The Giant Center chart lists 6 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Floor — concert general admission and chairs
- Lower Bowl — 100s
- Club / premium level
- Upper Bowl — 200s
- End sections
- Suites
Best seats at Giant Center
Lower-bowl center sections along the sideline give the best Bears hockey view. The mid-sized bowl keeps the 200 level close, so corner upper seats are a good value, and end-zone lowers are great for watching the chocolate-toss tradition.
Tips before you go
The Giant Center sits in the Hersheypark complex, so combine a Bears game with a park visit in season and use the shared lots. Hershey playoff hockey draws big, loud crowds — arrive early in spring for the league's most passionate AHL atmosphere.
How to read the Giant Center seating chart
The Giant Center chart divides 10,500 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage across 6 named sections — Floor, Lower Bowl, Club / premium level, Upper Bowl, End sections, and Suites. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.
When you weigh a Giant Center ticket, three variables do the work: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. That's why Suites and Floor can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Giant Center, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Hershey map before checkout.
Some context on size — Giant Center's 10,500 capacity places it 12th among the 23 Pennsylvania venues in this guide; Petersen Events Center (12,508) is the next size up, Liacouras Center (10,206) the next size down.
