Floor Seats for Concerts at American Airlines Center
Seat Views
Features & Amenities
Floor seats at American Airlines Center are a memorable experience for fans seeing their favorite artists. These seats will bring you closer than anywhere else in the entire arena and are typically filled with the most passionate fans.
Traditional Stage Setup
In a traditional end stage layout, floor sections 10-12 keep you as close as possible to the action while the very best views are found in floor section 11 thanks to the head on view of the stage. Sections in the center of the floor (11, 14, 17) typically have 16 seats in each, so the center most views will come when sitting in seat numbers 8-9.
There are usually 14 seats per row for an end stage performance. Low numbered seats are on the right side of every section when looking on the stage, so depending on the location of the section it may be more beneficial to have a higher or lower seat number.
Other Types of Setups
Often times touring artists will bring their own unique setup to the venues they play. For this reason it is important to check the concert seating chart for the show you want to see so you understand where you are purchasing tickets.
When shows have general admission floors, tickets will not have any reserved seats on the floor. Instead, the floor will be completely empty outside of the stage and fans can stand anywhere they choose. For the best views, arrive early before the doors open.

Fan Reviews
Tool - Jan 22, 2020 — I was in quite a lot of pain after the first hour from having to look up so much. the concert we were at did have roof level imagery. Had no problem seeing over the heads of the rows in front of us.
Queen and Adam Lambert - Nov 2, 2023 — Excellent seats actually closer than I thought to the stage. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Great spot behind the GA pit.
Seating and Ticket Q&A
Note: This answer is written for a traditional end-stage set-up. Actual set-ups may vary by performer and performance.
As section 14 is located on the floor, these seats will not have the benefit of stadium style seating where the rows in front of you are at a lower height than your row.
Therefore viewing obstruction does become a concern in these floor seating sections especially if you have taller fans in the seats in front of you. Many people in floor sections also end up standing for most of the show, so this also can lead to viewing obstruction.

Keeping You Close to the Action
But there is no question that floor seats are great for keeping you close to the action and will give you great alignment to the center of the stage. If you are able to get seats in the front row of Section 14, there should be a walkway aisle located in front of you which would clear up your view and help avoid obstruction from sitting directly behind other fans.
Alternative Options
The lower rows of sections 105, 106, 119, and 120 will be great alternatives as they have the traditional stadium style seating (elevated from the row in front) and will keep you close to the stage as well.
Yes, you will be able to see the stage. Typically in pits, there is space in the back of the section due to all the fans moving as close to the stage as possible. This will leave some space for the first row behind the pit to see clearly.
Tickets in the first row behind the pit are typically expensive because they are the best reserved seats you can get close to the stage.
Most rows in Floor Section 11 feature 16 seats in each. As you face the stage, seat 1 is located on the aisle at the right side of the row, while the higher numbered seats are located at the left side of the row.
