RYS Expert Reviews

100 Level Center (Basketball)

- These seats offer some of the best views of the court for a Knicks game. The height of the seats is better for seeing the whole court than the single-digit sections directly in front and the price tag is much, much less. Section 108 is behind the Knicks bench and is a great option for New York supporters, while visiting fans will prefer Section 106 behind the visitor's bench. Row 1 is at the front of Sections 106-108, but seating looks a little different on the opposite side of the court with the Event Level Suites occupying the front portion (Sections 116-118 don't begin until Row 6).

100 Level Center (Hockey)

- Sections 106-108 and 116-118 make up center seating on the 100 level at MSG. To sit in the first row behind the Rangers bench, choose seats in Row 1 of Section 106 or 107 (107 is behind both player benches). The Event Level Suites are located in front of Sections 116-118, so there are about ten rows of seating in between these sections and the penalty boxes.

100 Level Side (Concert)

- For fans who can't/don't want to sit in the first 15 rows of the floor, sections 108 and 116 are the next best thing for a traditional end stage performance. Unlike being on the floor, these seats are permanent and elevated, meaning more comfortable seating and less standing all while remaining very close to the stage. To get even closer during an end stage show, choose seats on the right aisle (seat 13 in row 1) of section 115 or on the left aisle (seat 1) in section 109. Being on the opposite aisles of these sections will still have you close to the action, but you will be left with a difficult side angle view of the performance. Sections 107 and 117 are also good options for an end stage performance, but are best if the show features a main stage right in the middle of the floor. 100 Level Side sections typically have 22 numbered rows of seating in each, with concourse entry tunnels located near the back of the section, just above row 17. For a convenient option which doesn't require a ton of walking up and down the aisles, opt for seats in rows 13-17.

Seating Notes

For most hockey hockey games, these seats are located on the end where the visitors shoot twice
For basketball games, we recommend these seats for great views of the court

Fan Reviews

★★★★★

Good price value — We were very pleased. Not too far to the side, and if we were closer we would have been below the stage. Recommend these highly.

How is view from row 8 Section 118?

Section 118 will afford you very good views from a position straddling the blue line. These seats are particularly good for visiting fans as the visiting team shoots twice towards the net on this side of the ice. Rangers fans will also be happy to know that this section is directly across from the New York bench and will provide great views of line changes and player activity.

As with most lower level sections, the most comfortable views will be in higher rows (think 15 and above). From Row 8 you'll have one of the best views of the near goal, but will have to turn your body to see the action as it moves towards the far net. Additionally, the sightline from row 8 is slightly impeded the the top of the glass.

Overall, from row 8 you'll be treated to an impressive experience close to the ice. Views will be slightly better from a higher row but the atmosphere will be better lower.

How many seats are along row 6 in section 118?

There are 20 seats in section 118, row 6. As you look towards the floor from this section, seat 1 is on the left aisle.

Row 6 offers slight elevation - enough for you to see over the Event Level Suites located directly in front of you - and enough to see the stage clearly.

Their position in the lower level just three sections from the stage makes them very good seats.
