Section 120 at Mortgage Matchup Center

Great Buffet and Comfort! — These seats are located in the North Lounge, an all-inclusive western-themed area, open to all guests. However, only the ticketholders in this area get the included food and drinks. There is a convenient escalator from the main pavilion straight up to the bar, where they put your wristband on and let you free to roam. There is live music nightly, and the food is hit-or-miss. Today, it hit, and was fantastic. The service there is great, the bartenders are nice, and everyone seems to just have a great time up there (maybe it's just the included drinks...). They will take drink orders from your seat, too. Desert is served at halftime, and the ice cream line gets a little long, so you may want to get there a 30 secs - 1 min before halftime. The seats themselves are luxurious lounge chairs with extra padding and large endtables for your drinks and food. You won't run out of room here. The view is what you'd expect from behind the basket. It's up to you whether you like it or not. I'm personally okay with it, but I know people who like the view more than some sideline seats, and some who hate it. It's all preference. If you're in the higher rows, people standing up in front of you may become an issue, but usually it's not too bad. At the end of the day, this is more about the experience. These seats are perfect for families or people who just don't want to be running around a concourse to find food or a bathroom. Everything you need is right in this small little lounge.

Behind the stage; better than expected but still bad — When I bought tickets behind the stage for a concert at Talking Stick Resort Arena I knew what I was getting into. Behind the stage seats are cheaper because, well, they're behind the stage. I will admit, Justin Timberlake did it better than most. There were a couple songs that he played specifically to us seated behind the stage but 80% of the show was targeted towards everyone else. That meant I was looking at the back of the heads of the band and Justin for the majority of the concert. I still thought it was cool to experience this unique perspective, kind of getting a chance to peel back the curtain and see what goes on behind the scenes.
