Who Should Sit Here

Courtside seating at Bridgestone Arena is for fans who want the closest possible view of a basketball game. If being right on top of the players, feeling the pace of the game, and taking in the whole court from floor level is the goal, this is the area to target — especially for anyone willing to pay up for a premium, up-close experience.

Courtside Seating Details

These seats are located directly on the arena floor. There are 12 courtside sections, labeled FL1 through FL12 on the seating chart, and they are not all positioned equally close to the action. Sections FL1–FL8 are the closest options, with no other seating sections in front of them and up to four rows each. Sections FL9–FL12 are positioned behind the front floor sections, beginning approximately five rows back from the court.

Views from the Courtside Seats

Courtside offers some of the closest, most immersive views in the building. For sideline views that run the length of the court and show the action on both ends, FL1, FL2, FL5 and FL6 are the best choices. For views from behind the baskets, FL3, FL4, FL7 and FL8 are the closest, with FL9–FL12 sitting directly behind them for a similar angle from a few rows farther back.

Best Courtside Seats

For the best overall experience, aim for the first few rows of the sideline sections, where you get an up-close view of the entire court from end to end.
