UD Arena Seating Chart

Sections at UD Arena

UD Arena breaks down into these 5 main sections. The one printed on your ticket sets your price, your distance, and your view, so read it against this list before you buy — and note the layout can shift between a game, a concert, and a private buyout.

• Lower bowl 100s — full ring closest to the floor
• Student section — designated lower sections
• Club level — center sideline premium
• Upper bowl 200s — second deck
• Suites — perimeter premium boxes

Best seats at UD Arena

Center-court lower-bowl sideline seats around midcourt give the cleanest read of both ends. The lower rows near the student section are the loudest spot, especially for a ranked Atlantic 10 or tournament game.

Tips before you go

First Four games in March draw heavy demand, so buy ahead for tournament dates. Campus lots fill for big games; the lots across Edwin C. Moses Boulevard clear faster than the arena-side decks afterward.

How to read the UD Arena seating chart

UD Arena seats 13,409 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, and its chart is organized into 5 named sections — Lower bowl 100s, Student section, Club level, Upper bowl 200s, 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 UD 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 100s can price and view so differently while sitting on the same chart. Use the best-seats notes above as the tiebreak for UD Arena, then confirm section, row, and seat against the official Dayton map before checkout.

For scale: at 13,409 seats, UD Arena ranks 13th of the 24 Ohio venues in this guide by capacity — Nationwide Arena (18,500) is the next size up, Cintas Center (10,250) the next size down.
