Seating Recommendations and Charts

Kellogg Arena offers seating for approximately 6,200 guests, with a versatile layout that shifts between reserved seating and general admission depending on the event. Floor seating is commonly added for concerts, while the main bowl provides strong views for sports and family shows.

• Floor Seating (Concerts): For fans who want to be closest to the action, floor seats put you right in front of the stage. These sections are typically the most immersive with concert-quality sound and proximity to the performers.
• Lower Bowl — Center Court/Center Stage: Often the top choice for balanced views and excellent sightlines. Rows in the main bowl typically run 1–20, and seats around mid-court or directly facing the stage provide the most centered perspective.
• Lower Bowl — Sidelines and Corners: A budget-friendly sweet spot for families and groups. You’ll get a strong angle on the performance or game with quicker access to concourses for concessions and restrooms.
• Upper Bowl: Ideal for value seekers who still want a full-venue vantage point. These seats offer a panoramic view of the stage or court, especially helpful for large-scale shows or tournaments.
• VIP & Hospitality Areas: Select events offer VIP seating and hospitality spaces connected through the McCamly Plaza Hotel—great for hosting clients, celebrating special occasions, or upgrading your night out.
