Section 117 at Nationwide Arena

(2026 Review) - On the Glass Location: Row A of each lower-level section — the first row directly behind the glass.  Closest to the Ice: As up-close as Blue Jackets hockey gets at Nationwide Arena.  Club Lounge Access: Glass seat ticketholders share the club lounge with Lexus Lounge sections 114–115.  Must-Know Caveat: Glass seats include lounge access but NOT the lounge's all-inclusive food and beverage — those apply only to Lexus Lounge seats.  Who Should Sit Here  Glass seats at Nationwide Arena are for fans who want the most immersive, in-your-face view of Columbus Blue Jackets hockey. If sitting as close to the ice as physically possible is the priority — and you'll happily trade the all-inclusive perks for that proximity — this is a once-in-a-lifetime spot.  Glass Seats Location & Details  Glass seats are Row A in each lower-level section, positioned as the first row behind the glass all the way around the ice. Because they run across the lower bowl, you can choose the section that best fits the side or end of the rink you prefer.  Views from the Glass Seats  The view is about as close to the action as you can get — players, checks, and puck battles happen right in front of you at ice level. Sightlines vary by which lower-level section you choose, but every glass seat puts you directly against the boards.  What's Included  Club Lounge Access: Entry to the club lounge shared with Lexus Lounge sections 114–115.  Note on Food & Beverage: Glass seats do not carry the lounge's all-inclusive benefits; those are reserved for Lexus Lounge seats.  Similar Premium Experience  If you want the lounge access plus the all-inclusive amenities that glass seats don't include, consider the Lexus Lounge seats in sections 114–115. 

- Corner seats are among the cheapest tickets in the lower bowl. Because the arena was built with hockey in mind, these corner seats do not have great sitelines for basketball games. When choosing seats in the corners, avoid the temptation of sitting in a lower row and instead opt for seats in Rows 20 and above where you'll have the most comfortable views. 

- From the corners of the lower level fans have a very good view of the ice - combining the north to south action from net to net with a unique view from almost behind the net. Blue Jackets fans will want to be in Sections 106-107 and 111-112 where the home team attacks in Periods 1 and 3. Sections 101, 117, 118 and 122 are located near the net where the visitors shoot twice, and are among the largest sections in the arena with up to 45 rows of seating.
