Moody Center Seating Chart
Moody Center opened in 2022 on the University of Texas campus, home to Longhorns basketball and Austin's premier concert arena. Built concert-first with a steep, intimate bowl, it quickly became a top touring stop in the country.
Sections at Moody Center
Moody Center breaks down into these 5 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.
- Lower bowl 100s — full ring, steeply raked for closeness
- Club and loge boxes
- Upper bowl 200s — second deck
- Student section behind a baseline for games
- Suites
Best seats at Moody Center
For concerts, lower bowl sections facing an end stage, rows 5-15, give a close head-on view thanks to the steep design. For Longhorns games, center-court lower sections along the benches are the truest basketball seats.
Tips before you go
It is on the east edge of campus near I-35, so rideshare drop-off beats hunting game-night parking around UT. Use the team or arena app for mobile tickets and cashless concessions, and arrive early since the bowl loads fast for sellouts.
How to read the Moody Center seating chart
Start with the shape of the room: 16,000 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, split into 5 sections — Lower bowl 100s, Club and loge boxes, Upper bowl 200s, Student section behind a baseline for games, and Suites. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.
What actually separates one Moody Center seat from another comes down to three things: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. Compare Suites and Lower bowl 100s on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Austin room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Moody Center; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
Sizewise, Moody Center holds 16,000, which puts it 18th of 26 Texas venues in this guide: Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion (16,500) is the next size up, The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory (8,000) the next size down.
