    View was fantastic. The seats are not actual seats, but pews made a long time ago when people were a bit smaller than they are today. Not much wiggle room but the experience was well worth it!

    Avoid Section 5 Due to Potential Obstructions

    Seats on the main floor after Row N have a higher chance of experiencing obstructed views due to the support poles. While many seats still offer decent sightlines, the further back you sit, the more likely the poles become a factor—especially toward the center sections. Rows closer to the stage generally avoid these obstructions, but anything beyond Row N should be chosen carefully, as poles can partially block views of the stage.

      Sections 3-6 make up the main floor center and are the largest sections at the Ryman Auditorium. These seats are centered to the stage and are home to some of the best seats for seeing to the Opry or any other show. The closest seats will be located in sections 3 and 5 which extend all the way to the stage. For the ultimate near VIP experience, rows AA and BB of section 3 are as close as you can get. One of the biggest concerns about sitting on the main floor are the obstructed views due to the poles. Although the poles are out of the way for most seats, we suggest trying to sit in row M or closer. As you move further back the poles and balcony become more of a factor. If deciding between the back of the main floor and balcony seats the balcony typically provides clearer views and better sound. One factor that makes the back rows a little better are the TV’s that are located at the front of the balcony overhang. If you are looking for extra leg room, you won’t find much at the Ryman Auditorium. The seating is church pew style with little room between rows.

      (Section 4) - ★★ -

      The view was just O.K. there was a pole that blocked the artists sometimes which was annoying. Could still see though and TV's are a nice addition to bring this old venue into today's world. Watch your knees, not much leg room either.
