Seating Recommendations and Charts

GFL Memorial Gardens offers seating for approximately 4,928 guests, with a bowl-style arena layout and a spacious concourse that wraps the floor for smooth circulation. Numbered sections encircle the rink or concert floor (e.g., Sections 101–120), with rows that typically range from Row A to Row T, depending on the section and event.

• Lower Bowl Center Ice: For hockey, lower bowl seats at center ice deliver the most balanced view of play, clean faceoff sightlines, and quick access to the concourse for concessions and restrooms.
• Concert Lower Bowl (Facing the Stage): For end-stage concerts, the lower bowl sections that face the stage provide strong sightlines and sound, minimizing extreme angles and keeping you close to the performance.
• Floor Seating/General Admission (Event-Dependent): For select concerts and special events, the floor converts to reserved seating or open floor, delivering the closest experience to the stage or presentation area.
• Suites and Club Seating: Suites, club seating, and party suites are available for a premium experience, with elevated sightlines and a more private atmosphere ideal for groups or special occasions.
• Accessible Seating: Designated accessible seating is distributed throughout the arena, offering companion seating and convenient access via elevators and ramps.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by arriving early to explore downtown dining just steps from the arena. With numerous restaurants nearby, it’s easy to grab dinner or a quick bite before gates open — and getting there 60–90 minutes early helps you beat the rush, breeze through security, and check out merchandise.

If you’re coordinating with friends, set a meeting spot near the main entrance or pick a landmark concession on the concourse so everyone can reconnect quickly once inside. Reviewing the GFL Memorial Gardens seating chart ahead of time helps you understand your section’s entry points and proximity to amenities, making your arrival smoother.
