Paycom Center Seating Chart
Home of the Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA) since 2008. The downtown OKC arena (formerly Chesapeake Energy Arena) is the loudest building in the league on big nights and anchors the Bricktown entertainment district.
Sections at Paycom Center
The Paycom Center chart lists 4 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Lower bowl 100s — sections 101-122
- Club Level 200s — premium middle ring
- Loud City upper bowl 300s — sections 301-330
- Suite Level
Best seats at Paycom Center
Sections 110-114 along the Thunder bench. The Loud City upper sections (310-318) are where the crowd noise concentrates — the value seats and the loudest in the building.
Tips before you go
Bricktown's canal-side restaurants and bars are a five-minute walk for pre-game. The arena is one of the smallest-market NBA buildings but consistently sells out — book Thunder tickets early.
How to read the Paycom Center seating chart
Paycom Center seats 18,203 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, and its chart is organized into 4 named sections — Lower bowl 100s, Club Level 200s, Loud City upper bowl 300s, and Suite Level. 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.
When you weigh a Paycom Center ticket, three variables do the work: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. That's why Suite Level and Lower bowl 100s can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Paycom Center, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Oklahoma City map before checkout.
Sizewise, Paycom Center holds 18,203, which puts it 2nd of 3 Oklahoma venues in this guide: BOK Center (19,199) is the next size up, Tulsa Theater (2,800) the next size down.
