Scheels Arena Seating Chart

Sections at Scheels Arena

Scheels Arena'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 — sideline and end sections ringing the floor
• Upper rows — back of the seating bowl
• End zone sections — behind each goal for hockey
• Club seats — premium sideline seating
• Suites — premium boxes above the bowl

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, 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 Scheels Arena 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 Scheels Arena map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
