What is the view like from the nosebleeds at Dayton Arena?

Without any corner or behind the basket sections in the upper levels, the nosebleeds of University of Dayton Arena all have a panoramic view of the court. Especially in the lower rows of the upper level, you would rather sit there than behind the basket in 108 or 109. This is an incredibly shallow arena, so you will be horizontally much farther away from the court than you would expect to be (relative to your vertical distance). Rows in the upper levels are lettered, starting with A and go as high as P or R. With so many rows, there is a pretty remarkable difference between the front and the back -- so we recommend as close to A as possible. All nosebleed seating offers good sideline views, with the best options located closest to Row A

Upper Level at University of Dayton Arena

Features & Amenities

Like lower level seating, the upper level at University of Dayton Arena is split up into two distinctly-numbered groups of seating. The 300 level contains 16 rows of lettered seating, followed by 18 rows of lettered seating in the 400 level.

Some of the best values in the arena can be found in Rows A-E of Sections 310-312 and 303-305 where the view is phenomenal, and the ticket prices are less expensive than the lower level. In fact, comfortable views can be found all over the upper level.

The only seats you really want to avoid are in the upper reaches of the 400 level and all of the extreme-edge sections (like 301 and 307) where the angle towards the court is poor and the seats have been called dark and claustrophobic.
