- Lower Bowl — 100s
- Club Level — 200s premium
- Upper Bowl — 300s
- Student Section

Best seats at KFC Yum! Center
Lower-bowl sideline sections in the 100s give the best Cardinals basketball view. For concerts, the 100 level facing the stage is the play; the 300s are steep, so corner upper seats are the better value up high.
Tips before you go
The Yum! Center sits on Louisville's Main Street near the river, with garages and Whiskey Row bars a short walk away. Pre-game in the NuLu and downtown district, and use the riverfront garages to skip the post-event street gridlock.
How to read the KFC Yum! Center seating chart
KFC Yum! Center seats 22,090 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 KFC Yum! Center 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 KFC Yum! Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.
