Sections at Scheels Arena

• Upper rows — back of the seating bowl
• End zone sections — behind each goal for hockey
• Club seats — premium sideline seating

Best seats at Scheels Arena

Center sideline sections at center ice give the best hockey view, while for concerts the sections facing the stage stay closest to the action. The compact bowl keeps even upper rows reasonably near the floor.

Tips before you go

Hockey nights draw a loud local crowd, so expect energy in the end sections behind the Force attacking net. The arena sits south of downtown Fargo with free surface parking surrounding it. Dress warm for ice events near the glass.

How to read the Scheels Arena seating chart

Scheels Arena seats 6,000 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, and its chart is organized into 5 named sections — Lower bowl, Upper rows, End zone sections, Club seats, and Suites. 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 Scheels Arena 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 Suites and Lower bowl can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for Scheels Arena, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Fargo map before checkout.

For scale: at 6,000 seats, Scheels Arena ranks 109th of the 112 arenas in this guide by capacity — Santander Arena (7,083) is the next size up, Rio Rancho Events Center (6,000) the next size down.
