Section 101 at Benchmark International Arena

(2026 Review) - Lower Level Seating: Sections 101–130 on the lower level, wrapping the ice/floor up close.  Best in the Building: Widely regarded as some of the best seats in the arena thanks to their proximity to the action.  Glass Seats Caveat: Rows A and B are Glass Seats — the most common complaint is having to look through or over the glass.  Lightning Shoot Twice: The Lightning shoot twice toward sections 108 and 109.  Concert Alternative: A popular alternative to Floor Seats for concerts.  Who Should Sit Here  The Promenade Level at Benchmark International Arena is for fans who want to be as close to the action as possible without paying for the floor. It suits hockey fans who love being right on top of the play and concertgoers looking for a strong vantage point at a step below floor pricing. Just know the exact experience shifts depending on whether you're there for Lightning hockey or a concert.  Promenade Level Seating Details  The Promenade Level spans sections 101 through 130 on the lower level, ringing the entire seating bowl. Rows are lettered with Row A closest to the floor, and Row U is the last row in most sections. For hockey, the player benches sit in front of sections 101, 102, and 130, with the penalty box on the opposite side.  Views from the Promenade Level  For Lightning games, expect an up-close look at the ice, with the team shooting twice toward sections 108 and 109. Keep in mind that Rows A and B are Glass Seats, where the main drawback is looking through or over the glass.  For concerts, the stage is most often set up in front of sections 123 and 124; sections 118 and 129 are closest to an end-stage configuration and will have the most severe side angle.  Good to Know  If easy concourse access matters to you, aim for seats near Row U — the last row in most sections — so you can slip out to the concourse without climbing past the whole section.
