AmericanAirlines Arena Seating Chart & Tips

With a seating capacity of 19,600, we want to make sure that you get the best seat in the house. Check out our AmericanAirlines Arena tips for seating below.
First, here are the seating charts for basketball games:

The Best Seats In The House

The best seats to enjoy a memory experience are the center court tickets in sections 106, 107, 118, and 119.
These seats are right in the middle of the arena. 15 rows up on the lower bowl are prime seats for concerts.

Which Seats Should I Avoid?

Regardless of the events or concert, the seats to avoid are on the arenas 400 level – the standing room only spots. These seats get you in the door, but are a far way walk and you don’t get a seat to sit in.

If you still want to locate yourself there, ensure you go with a pair of high-spec binoculars and a pair of comfortable shoes.
