- Lower Bowl — sideline sections
- Club / premium level
- Upper sections
- End / behind-stage areas
- Suites
Best seats at Hersheypark Stadium
Reserved lower-bowl sections facing the stage give the best sound and sightline for stadium concerts. The general-admission field puts you closest for high-energy shows, while the lower bowl is the comfortable seated alternative.
Tips before you go
Hersheypark Stadium shares the complex with Hersheypark and the Giant Center, so confirm the venue and combine with a park visit in season. Use the shared lots, and field shows are standing — wear comfortable shoes and arrive early for a good spot.
How to read the Hersheypark Stadium seating chart
Hersheypark Stadium seats 30,000 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.
Three things decide a Hersheypark Stadium seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Hersheypark Stadium map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.
