Seating Recommendations and Charts

First National Bank Arena offers seating for approximately 10,563 guests, with a flexible layout that adapts to basketball, volleyball, concerts, and special events. Seating combines reserved bowl sections with floor seating or courtside/near-stage options when the event setup allows.

• Lower Level Sideline: For basketball, seats along the center court lines deliver the most balanced views and energy. These are typically the first to go for high-demand Red Wolves games and headline shows.
• Floor Seating (Concerts/Special Events): When available, floor seats get you closest to the stage and immersed in the performance. Check event listings for exact floor maps and row configurations.
• Behind the Basket/End Sections: A strong value for basketball fans who want to be in the building without paying sideline premiums. Great for soaking up the student-section atmosphere when applicable.
• Upper Level Sideline: Elevated, straight-on sightlines at a more affordable price point. Ideal if you prefer a wider perspective of the court or stage.
• Accessible Seating: ADA-compliant seating is available; locations vary by event configuration. For specifics, consult the event map or contact Ticket Purchase for guidance before you buy.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

First National Bank Arena

217 Olympic Drive

Jonesboro, Arkansas 72401

The arena sits on the Arkansas State University campus in Jonesboro — about 70 miles northwest of Memphis, Tennessee. It’s easy to reach for locals and visitors coming in from the region.

• Parking: On-site parking is available, with event parking typically accessible adjacent to the arena.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available in Jonesboro.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup zones may vary by event; rideshare services can access the arena area near the main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before tip-off or showtime, especially for high-attendance games and concerts. Early arrival makes parking smoother, shortens your time at security, and gives you a chance to explore the concourse before the crowd builds.

This is an indoor venue, so weather has minimal impact once you’re inside. That said, Jonesboro can be hot in the summer and chilly in the winter — dress for outdoor conditions between your vehicle and the entrances.

The walk from on-site parking is on mostly flat terrain with minimal elevation change. If you’re meeting friends, choose a gate in advance (the arena features four distinct entrances) to make your meetup easy and stress-free.

Venue Navigation

With four separate entrances, entry is well-distributed to help fans get inside quickly. Once you’re through security, concourses provide access to reserved seating, floor areas when applicable, and amenities.

Concession stands offer classic arena fare — snacks, soft drinks, and more — and merchandise kiosks open for Red Wolves games and touring events. Restrooms are located throughout the concourse, and event staff are stationed nearby to assist with directions or seating questions.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check event-specific guidelines; many arenas require clear bags and enforce size restrictions.
• Prohibited Items: Typical restrictions apply — no weapons, outside food or beverage, large bags, or professional cameras (check your event for specifics).
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• If you’re driving in from Memphis (about 70 miles), add buffer time for regional traffic and parking.
• Pick a specific entrance for your group — the arena’s four-entry layout makes meetups simple when you plan ahead.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a day of it on the Arkansas State University campus. Before your event, you can explore the ASU Museum or Bradbury Art Museum, both offering engaging exhibits just a short drive from the arena. If you’re aiming for a low-key vibe, Downtown Jonesboro has shops and lounges to relax before the show.

If you’re coordinating with a group, share your section and row ahead of time and use a designated entrance as your rally point. For concerts, floor and stage setups vary — check your event’s map so everyone knows where to meet once inside.

Outdoor enthusiasts might add time at Craighead Forest Park or Lake Frierson State Park earlier in the day, then head to the arena for evening First National Bank Arena events. It’s a balanced way to pair local recreation with live entertainment.

Accessibility

First National Bank Arena is ADA-accessible, with on-site ADA parking, accessible seating options, and elevators/ramps to help you navigate the venue. Specific accessible seating locations vary by configuration, so review the event’s map or reach out for assistance.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, soft drinks, and other classic arena fare to keep you fueled through the game or concert. Merchandise stands are available during events for team gear and tour apparel.
