Where are the best seats near an easy exit at the Moda Center?
I would like to take my mother to the American Idol show in July. She is a young 82. She does great, but not going up lots of steps. Of course I want her to be able to see the show as close as possible, but I do have a budget. Thank you very much.

Seats at the Top of the 100 Level Are Easily Accessible
First, you will want to focus on the 100 level of the stadium. This will minimize your trip up escalators and keep you close to stadium exits/entrances.

In the 100 level, the tunnels to enter/exit the section are near the last rows O and P. If you select seats here, you will have no walk up or down stairs into your seats.
Consider Side or End Sections For the Best Views
For this particular concert, we recommend side sections 112, 113, 101 and 122. The main issue with seating here is that you will have to turn your body a bit to see the stage.
Alternatively, we recommend Sections 117 and 118, which have a head-on view of the stage. The issue here is that you are pushed back farther. So if seeing is problematic, these might not be the best seats.
