Marriott Center Seating Chart
Home of BYU Cougars basketball, the Marriott Center is one of the largest on-campus arenas in the country. The vast single-tier upper bowl rises steeply from the floor, and a packed house for a ranked opponent turns the building into one of the loudest in college basketball.
Sections at Marriott Center
Marriott Center'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.
- Lower bowl — full ring closest to the floor
- Student section — designated lower sections
- Upper bowl — the arena's signature steep upper tier
- Premium center — center-court reserved rows
Best seats at Marriott Center
Center-court lower-bowl sideline seats around midcourt are the marquee tickets with a clean read of both ends. The upper bowl is genuinely good here — the steep pitch keeps even the high rows pointed straight down at the floor.
Tips before you go
The upper bowl is steep, so anyone wary of heights should choose lower-bowl or aisle seats. Campus parking fills for big games; the lots farther from the arena clear out far faster than the closest decks after the final buzzer.
How to read the Marriott Center seating chart
Marriott Center seats 19,000 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 Marriott 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. 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 Marriott Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
Building a seating chart for an event at Marriott Center
Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Provo area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near Marriott Center, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at Marriott Center runs to 19,000 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
