Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Carver County Fairgrounds

The Carver County Fairgrounds is a premier venue for concerts, fairs, and community events in Minnesota. Known for its versatile layout and vibrant atmosphere, understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience for any event. Below, we break down the seating options, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

Grandstand (Sections A–D): Central views with slight elevation. Ideal for concerts but may have obstructed sightlines for smaller events due to staging.

Bleachers (East/West): Budget-friendly with unobstructed views but limited legroom. Best for families and shorter events.

General Admission (Lawn): Relaxed, picnic-style seating. Great for festivals but distant from the stage.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Front rows of Grandstand Sections B/C for balanced sound and visibility.
  • Rodeos/Fairs: Mid-level bleachers for a panoramic view of the arena.
  • Family Shows: Lawn seating for space and affordability.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Grandstand seats offer clear sightlines, but avoid far-right/left sections for concerts due to angled views. Bleachers provide elevation but may lack cover in poor weather. Lawn seats are spacious but require binoculars for stage details.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Covered seating with premium amenities. Book early for high-demand events.
  • Accessibility: Designated wheelchair areas near entrances with companion seating.

Tips for Choosing Seats

  • Prioritize center sections for concerts.
  • Check weather forecasts for lawn/bleacher seats.
  • Use interactive seat maps when booking online.
