Seating Recommendations and Charts

Matthew Knight Arena offers seating for approximately 12,364 guests, with a smart two-level layout that includes a lower bowl, upper bowl, club seating, suites, and accessible areas. For sports, seating is primarily reserved; for concerts, you’ll find a mix of reserved seats and general admission depending on the show configuration.

• Lower Bowl Center (Sections 101–103 and 113–115): These centerline sections are widely regarded as the best for sightlines and in-the-action energy — ideal for Oregon Ducks games and end-stage concerts alike.
• Courtside Seating: The closest you can get to the floor. If you want to feel every possession and catch player details, this is the premier vantage point.
• Club Seats: Elevated views and a central perspective make these seats a strong choice for fans who prefer a balanced, panoramic look at the court or stage.
• Upper Bowl Center: A great value play, especially Rows 1–10 where the angle and distance combine for a clear look at the action without the premium price of the lower bowl.
• Accessible Seating: Available on all levels with companion seating so guests can choose the location that fits their needs and stay connected to their group.

Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience. To plan the perfect view, open the Matthew Knight Arena seating chart and explore sections by row — typically Rows 1–30 in the lower bowl and Rows 1–20 in the upper bowl — before you buy.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Matthew Knight Arena

1390 Villard Street

Eugene, Oregon 97403

Located in Eugene — approximately 110 miles south of Portland — the arena is an easy point of access for fans across the Willamette Valley.

• Parking: On-site parking is available across multiple lots, with event fees typically ranging from $10–$20. Nearby garages and street parking may also be available — arrive early for the best options.
• Public Transit: Accessible via Lane Transit District (LTD) bus routes; special event shuttles may be offered for major events.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated rideshare pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. This gives you time to park, pass through security, and grab concessions without missing a moment of pre-game warmups or opening acts. If you’re taking LTD public transit or a special event shuttle, check schedules ahead of time to avoid delays.

While events are indoors, outdoor entry lines can be exposed to rain. Consider a light layer if the forecast looks wet, and remember the clear bag policy to move through security faster. Minimal elevation change and well-designed walkways make for easy access from nearby lots, but allow a few extra minutes to walk from parking to the entrances.

If you’re meeting friends, pick a simple landmark — such as the main entrance — before you arrive. For major Matthew Knight Arena events, arriving early not only reduces stress, it also lets you enjoy the striking glass exterior as it lights up the evening.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s spacious concourses and open sightlines make it easy to find your section and stay close to the action. You’ll find multiple concession stands serving arena favorites throughout the venue, along with a guest services center and first aid station for assistance.

Official Ducks merchandise is available at the team store and kiosks positioned along the concourses, while ATMs and charging stations add convenience throughout your visit. With a straightforward bowl design and elevators and ramps connecting each level, moving between seats, concessions, and amenities is a breeze.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only, up to 12"x6"x12"; small clutches permitted.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food/drink, large bags, professional cameras, umbrellas, noisemakers, and laser pointers.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry permitted once ticket is scanned.
• Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities; must remain on leash or harness.

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 rain is in the forecast, bring a light layer — outdoor entry lines may be exposed.
• Arrive a little early to admire the arena’s glass exterior at night and the forest-themed court once inside.

Pre-Event Planning

Lock in your view early by checking the Matthew Knight Arena seating chart and comparing sections and rows with Ticket Purchase’ interactive map. If you’re coming with a group, decide on a meeting point — like the main entrance or a visible concourse location — to make linking up easy once you’re inside.

Give yourself time to enjoy pre-game or pre-show energy. The arena’s concourses are designed for smooth flow, so you can browse merchandise kiosks, grab a bite, and head to your seats without rushing. Want to keep the night going? Several nearby restaurants — including Track Town Pizza and Wild Duck Cafe — make it simple to meet up before or after the show.

Because events are indoors, weather won’t impact the performance. Still, be mindful of the forecast for your arrival and departure, and always follow the clear bag policy to speed through security for Matthew Knight Arena events.

Accessibility

Matthew Knight Arena is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking close to entrances and accessible seating on all levels, including companion seating. Elevators and ramps connect each level to ensure smooth navigation for all guests.
