How to Find the Best Seats for Your Event? Here Are General Rules for Selecting Seats at UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.
Check the seating chart. Use the interactive map on American Arenas® to explore the layout and secure the best seats for your desired view.
Best Seats for Concerts
- For concertgoers, floor seats—especially those near the stage—offer unmatched energy and a direct line of sight to the performance. Floor sections and reserved areas 1–9 are usually the most sought after, but availability and configurations can vary depending on the artist’s tour setup.
- However, not every seat guarantees an unobstructed view. Upper-level sections, particularly around the 300, may feel distant and might not capture the whole stage.
Best Seats for Sporting Games
- Lower levels: Sit closer to the action in the front rows, but remember that sitting directly behind the baskets or goals might mean some obstructions.
- Mid-level lower: These sections strike a good balance between view and atmosphere.
- Upper levels: Even from higher seats, you’ll still experience the energy of the crowd and get an impressive view of the arena during major events.
