Floor Seats for Concerts at Nationwide Arena

• Stage-Level Seating: Floor seats sit at stage level, on the surface where the ice rink normally is for hockey — the closest you can get to the performance.
• Eight Floor Sections: Most end-stage concerts split the floor into eight sections: Floor 1-3 (front), Floor 4-6 (middle), and Floor 7-8 (rear).
• Roomy Rows: Front and middle floor sections most commonly have 26 rows labeled A-Z.
• Section 5 Caveat: Because of the sound mixer's location, Floor section 5 is often limited to just five rows.

Who Should Sit Here

Floor seats are for fans who want to be as close to the action as possible at Nationwide Arena. These are among the most exclusive and exciting options for a concert, ideal for anyone chasing an up-close, stage-level experience.

Floor Seating Details

All floor seats are located at stage level, on the arena floor where the ice rink would normally be. For most end-stage concerts the floor is divided into eight sections: Floor 1, 2, and 3 make up the front floor; Floor 4, 5, and 6 the middle floor; and Floor 7 and 8 the rear floor. Front and middle sections most commonly carry 26 rows (A-Z), while Floor section 5 is often cut down to about five rows due to the sound mixer sitting in that spot. Seat counts vary by event, but there are commonly 12-15 seats per floor section, with seat 1 on your right as you face the stage.

Views from the Floor Seats

Being at stage level puts you right in front of the performance, with front-floor sections (Floor 1-3) closest to the stage and rear sections (Floor 7-8) further back. Keep in mind the sound mixer occupies the area around Floor section 5, which is why that section is often shortened.

Good to Know

Because seat 1 is on your right as you look toward the stage, the best seats aren't the same on both sides: in Floor sections 1, 4, and 7 the higher-numbered seats sit more toward center, while in Floor sections 3, 6, and 8 the seats closer to seat 1 are the better picks.
