Liacouras Center Seating Chart

Sections at Liacouras Center
Liacouras Center breaks down into these 6 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.
- Floor — concert reserved seating or standing
- Lower level 100s — full ring around the court and floor
- Club seats — premium center-sideline rows
- Upper level 200s — second tier with a steeper rake
- Suites — perimeter hospitality boxes
- End-zone sections — seats behind each basket
Best seats at Liacouras Center
Lower-level center sections along the sideline give the best basketball view, with a clear angle on both baskets. For concerts, the lower 100s facing the stage win, while upper 200 center offers strong value at a sharp downward angle.
Tips before you go
The arena sits on a busy stretch of North Broad Street, so the Cecil B. Moore subway stop is often easier than driving in. On Temple game nights the campus fills early, so leave extra time to reach the doors and clear bag check.
How to read the Liacouras Center seating chart
Liacouras Center seats 10,206 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, and its chart is organized into 6 named sections — Floor, Lower level 100s, Club seats, Upper level 200s, Suites, and End-zone sections. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
Three things decide a Liacouras 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. Two sections apart — say End-zone sections and Floor — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Philadelphia venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Liacouras Center. Match your ticket to the official Liacouras Center map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
