Are floor risers good seats for concerts at the Staples Center?

Floor risers are additional seating areas that are placed in front of the normal seating in Sections 105-108. Rows in the floor risers get higher from the floor as you get further from the stage to help provide some height difference from the people in the seats in front of you. To accommodate more fans, a set of risers is added in front of 105-108 for some Staples Center shows However the height difference in the floor riser sections is not as much as in the normal 100 sections, so your view may be more obstructed in these sections if you have taller fans in the seats in front. The Floor Risers will keep you close to the action, centrally aligned with the stage, provide some relief from obstructed views, and are certainly a very good option for the Bruno Mars concert in July.

Who Should Sit Here

The 100 Level at Crypto.com Arena is for fans who want to be as close to the action as possible and are willing to pay a premium for it. Whether it's a Lakers or Clippers game, a Kings game, or a concert, this lower level delivers proximity you won't get higher up — just match your section to the event to get the most out of it.

100 Level Seating Details

The 100 Level is the arena's lower bowl, wrapping the court, rink, and stage. Sections near 111 and 101 sit closest to center. For basketball, fans can sit near the benches in sections 118 and 119. For Kings games, sections 113–118 are on the shoot-twice side of the ice, and the home bench is in front of section 102. All 100-numbered sections are entered from the top, with fans walking down to their seats.

Views from the 100 Level

Sitting on the lower level brings fans closest to the court, rink, or stage. For basketball and hockey, some fans prefer the 100 Level over the Premier Seats because these seats are closer to the game, and sections near 111 and 101 give good views to both ends of the court/rink. For concerts, the best views to the stage come in sections 112 and 119, which offer a good angle for standard end-stage setups. For head-on views, sections 106–107 are the best option, though these are the furthest lower-level seats from the stage.

Good to Know

For Kings games, remember that sections 113–118 land on the shoot-twice side of the ice — a nice edge if you want to see your team attack twice from up close.
