Moody Center Seating Chart

Sections at Moody Center

Moody 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 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

Moody Center seats 16,000 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 Moody 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 Moody 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 Moody Center

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Austin 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 Moody 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 Moody Center runs to 16,000 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.
