Pocono Raceway Seating Chart
Pocono Raceway is the triangular superspeedway in the Pennsylvania mountains, nicknamed the Tricky Triangle for its three distinct, unusually flat corners. The NASCAR venue spreads long grandstands along the frontstretch, with extensive infield camping and wide sweeping views of the unconventional layout that challenges drivers all weekend.
Sections at Pocono Raceway
Pocono Raceway'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.
- Start-Finish grandstands — frontstretch rows at the line
- Turn 1 grandstands — seats facing the first corner
- Long Pond Straight stands — backstretch viewing
- Tunnel Turn area — seats at the tight third corner
- Infield — camping and garage-access viewing
- Suites above the frontstretch
Best seats at Pocono Raceway
Frontstretch grandstands near the start-finish line let you watch pit action and the run into Turn 1, the best all-around race view. Higher rows are essential here because the elevation reveals more of the flat triangular layout.
Tips before you go
Bring a scanner and sun protection because the grandstands are fully exposed and races run long. Traffic in and out of Long Pond is heavy, so arrive early and stay late, and infield camping is a popular way to skip the daily commute.
How to read the Pocono Raceway seating chart
Pocono Raceway seats 76,812 around a racing oval, so reading the chart starts at the start/finish line and works along the frontstretch. Grandstand sections line the main straightaway closest to the action and the finish; tower, clubhouse, and suite seats sit higher and command a premium; and the infield offers general-admission viewing inside the track itself. The lower the section, the closer to the rail — and which grandstand you choose decides whether you overlook the finish line, a particular turn, or pit road.
Three things decide a Pocono Raceway seat: where you sit along the track — the finish line and the pit straight are prime — how high you are, and whether you want a reserved grandstand seat or open infield admission. For a track this size, the value sweet spot is usually a mid-tier grandstand seat near the start/finish line, close to the action and the pit stops without the suite price. Infield and general admission are first-come, so arrive early, and cross-check the official Pocono Raceway map against your ticket before you buy.
